Ottawa
The Ottawa chapter of the Ireland- Canada Chambers of Commerce was officially launched on Monday June 21st at the Rideau Club in Bank Street. The primary purpose for the chamber is to provide a business network for Irish business people or those interested in doing business with Ireland, in Ottawa, and to promote such opportunities for business networking that are within our mandate.
To this end, the Ottawa chamber will focus specifically on business interactions, within Ottawa, within Canada, and between Canada and Ireland where our members have interests, presence and relevance. We will support other Irish business professionals who come to Ottawa by opening our network to them, to facilitate and enhance Ireland-Canada business relationship development. We will be the primary contact point for Irish business professionals who wish to interact with each other and with a wider Canadian business community in Ottawa.
There are many other excellent Irish cultural and Irish interested groups in the Ottawa area, which many of our members are also involved with. We are not competitive to any of these groups but are very complimentary. Our purpose and focus is to nourish the strong connections that have existed for generations between Ireland and Ottawa, but within a specific business context. Click here for further information on the Chamber and see www.ottawairishbusiness.org for more details. We be changing to www.iccott.com very shortly.
