Events FAQ

Who can attend Chamber events?

Anyone who is employed by a member company is eligible to attend Chamber events at member discount prices. Our events are also open to the general public for a non-member rate. Select events are designated for members-only and will be identified as such on the event online description.

What is the Chamber's event cancellation policy?

The Halifax Chamber of Commerce accepts written notice only for event ticket cancellations. If an individual and/or company does not attend an event but a ticket has been purchased and no written cancellation has been received, they will be billed accordingly.

Tickets are transferable. If you cannot use your ticket we encourage you to give it to a client, guest or colleague to attend in your place. Please email the event manager to have the name changed on these tickets.

Deadlines for written cancellation notices are as follows:

Fall Dinner, Spring Dinner, Halifax Business Awards and Wonder Women:

Minimum of two weeks prior to the event date.


Luncheons and Power Lunches:

Minimum of one week prior to the event date


Business After Hours, Power Lunches and Chamber 101:

Minimum of 48 hours prior to the event date.

Please send your written cancellations to the Event Manager associated with the event. This information is located on the right-hand side of the event web page.
