The Lillooet Chamber would like to congratulate the District of Lillooet on the creation of the new Zoning Bylaw. This new zoning bylaw reflects a clear commitment to supporting our local businesses, encouraging investment, and enabling more permissive land use that aligns with Lillooet’s economic future.

The Zoning Bylaw allows for more development, supports businesses with more flexible definitions, and sends a clear signal that Lillooet is ready for real investment on housing and infrastructure.

While it has taken quite a long time for this bylaw to be finalized, we want to also congratulate the District on the way this bylaw has been developed. The District was committed to public engagement and hearing from stakeholders such as ourselves and the public. The District was also open to listen to feedback and implemented suggestions while compromising on others in a clear and transparent way. This is a model for how to do public engagement and we encourage the District to carry this model for all their bylaws and budgets.

The next step for our Chamber is to see this Zoning Bylaw effectively implemented. This Zoning Bylaw should encourage more investment and attract new businesses to Lillooet. We hope that our Chamber can be helpful with this effort and help spread the message that Lillooet is “Open for Business”.

The Lillooet Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that it has submitted a cover photo of Lillooet for the upcoming Invest in BC magazine. This submission highlights Lillooet’s unique character, economic potential, and natural beauty, showcasing the community as a compelling place to live, work, and invest.

Invest in BC magazine is a province-wide publication that showcases communities, industries, and investment opportunities across British Columbia. It is distributed to business leaders, investors, and decision-makers, serving as a platform to highlight regional strengths, economic development initiatives, and the advantages of doing business in BC communities.

The Lillooet Chamber of Commerce has completed its submission to a federal survey focused on rural development, sharing local perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing rural communities.

Through this survey, the Chamber emphasized the importance of strengthening awareness and delivery of federal initiatives in rural regions, investing in locally embedded networks, and ensuring rural communities are meaningfully connected to nation-building projects. The submission reflects the Chamber’s role as a trusted community partner and advocate for place-based economic development.

The Lillooet Chamber of Commerce looks forward to continued collaboration with federal partners to help ensure rural voices are heard and rural communities are supported in sustainable and inclusive ways.
