Why a new Chamber of Commerce and Industry France in Western Canada?
This Chamber was born from the evolution of the French Executive Circle, a business network which had been bringing together Francophone and Francophile business leaders in Western Canada for several years. As the network grew, so did the need for a more structured, visible, and action-oriented platform to support bilateral trade, investment, and collaboration.
The timing couldn’t be better.
With well-established France–Canada chambers in Eastern Canada, there was a clear gap — and opportunity — to create a western presence aligned with this national and international ecosystem. At the same time, both Canadian and French companies are facing a growing imperative to diversify their trade routes, build resilience into their supply chains, and explore new markets.
This Chamber was created to meet that moment — and to accelerate new connections, partnerships, and commercial success stories across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.
