VANCOUVER, BC – The Hispanic Canadian Chamber of Commerce (HCCC) is proud to announce its official launch, marking an exciting milestone for the Hispanic and Canadian business communities. Established on November 18, 2024, the HCCC is dedicated to empowering businesses through advocacy, education, and networking opportunities.

Mission and Vision
The HCCC’s mission is clear: to empower Hispanic and Canadian businesses to thrive and succeed. Our vision is a dynamic, inclusive business community where collaboration and learning fuel success for entrepreneurs of all backgrounds.

Purpose and Economic Impact
The Chamber aims to contribute to the economic growth and cultural richness of both the Hispanic and Canadian communities, locally within the provinces and internationally. With over 151,000 Hispanics in British Columbia, many of whom are newcomers from countries like Mexico, Colombia, El Salvador, Brazil, Peru, and Cuba, the impact of their entrepreneurial spirit is evident.
Hispanic entrepreneurs in BC are driving innovation in sectors such as technology, education, food, and tourism. A smaller but growing group is also making strides in construction as small business owners. Notably, women entrepreneurs have seen significant growth over the past eight years, excelling in industries such as cosmetics, food production, trade, and communications.

A Community of Collaboration
With this energy and momentum, the HCCC has been established as a platform for Hispanic entrepreneurs to connect, network, and empower one another. Our goal is to provide resources and opportunities that support their growth and, in turn, strengthen the provincial and national economy.
