Who funds the GSCC?
The GSCC is funded by our membership, Chamber events and the license bureau.
Do I contact the GSCC if I’d like to lodge a complaint against or obtain a reference for a local company?
Depending on the complaint and whether it is against a member, the GSCC will follow up on an objection of a customer. If you have a grievance against a GSCC member, please contact the Operations Manager.
Do I contact the GSCC if I’d like to obtain tourist information?
Please contact the Rainbow Country Travel Association for information.
How do I access the member’s only section on the website?
When you join the GSCC, you will receive an email from that will contain a personal password. To log in to the member only section of our web site, type in your email address for the username and your personal password into the password box.
I would like to volunteer to serve on a committee or task force at the Chamber…who do I call?
Any questions about volunteering for either of our standing committees can be answered by contacting our Operations Manager.
I don’t have time to become heavily involved in GSCC activities. Does this decrease the value of my membership?
Not at all. Your membership is designed to give you a tremendous return on your investment even if you do not have to lots of extra time. Depending on the type of business you operate, there are different programs to suit your needs – including “member2member” benefits.
How does the GSCC decide how to assess dues to members?
The Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce’s membership fees are assessed on a scale based on the average number of full-time employees (including owners and managers) and part-time employees (based on a ratio of 3 part-time = 1 full-time) per firm during the previous year.
CHAMBER MEMBERSHIP FEES ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
NOTE: Each membership is subject to a "one time" administration fee in addition to annual membership fee. Membership fees are also subject to the Goods and Services Tax. Registration # 108048802.
The Ontario Chamber of Commerce represents your business interests at Queen’s Park to influence legislation and regulation. Membership fees are also subject to an annual assessment of $10.00 to the Ontario Chamber of Commerce.
Why does the GSCC charge money for some of its events and programs?
The GSCC offers a wide spectrum of benefits at no charge as part of your membership. Some elective programs require a nominal fee in order to be self-sustaining and not impact the price of the basic membership.
Why is the GSCC so involved in politics?
Many companies, especially small businesses, don’t have the time to be involved in politics. So the Chamber is there to represent their best interests and ensure Greater Sudbury remains a business-friendly community.
