As we wrap up another year at the Amherstburg Chamber of Commerce, I want to extend my sincere gratitude for your unwavering support and dedication to our community. Since 1972, our mission has been to enhance the quality of life in Amherstburg, and our greatest strength has always been our members—over 100 businesses that form the backbone of our vibrant town.
Reflecting on the past year, I am inspired by the resilience, innovation, and collaboration that continue to drive Amherstburg forward. From exciting development projects to cultural festivals that enrich our town, it’s clear that our community is thriving. Our membership has grown to 123 businesses, a testament to our shared commitment to prosperity and success.
One of the highlights of the past year was the 19th Annual Business Excellence Awards, where we gathered with 200 attendees to celebrate the outstanding achievements within our business community. Our networking events, including the New Member Gathering at Vivace Estate Winery and the Holiday Networking at The O at Hotel STRY, strengthened relationships and showcased the rich heritage of our town. Looking ahead, we are excited to host the 2025 Business Excellence Awards on May 8th at the McGregor Columbian Club, an event that promises to be another memorable evening of celebration.
Our commitment to supporting your success remains stronger than ever. Over the past year, we have actively engaged in:

Together, we have accomplished so much, and I am confident that our collective efforts will continue to strengthen our community for years to come.
