President's Message

The Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce (BCCC), which is headquartered in Toronto, links players from private and government sectors who work together to strengthen bilateral trade and investment between Canada and Brazil. Our network of BCCC members and volunteers is confident about the future prospects for the economic relationship between the two countries. I believe there is cause for optimism; indeed, in my role as president of BCCC, I have met with business leaders with incredible vision, passion and desire to build closer commercial and economic ties between Canada and Brazil.

To bolster bilateral trade and investment between Canada and Brazil and ensure their business ties reach their full potential, BCCC and Export Development Canada (EDC) have pledged to work together on the Canada-Brazil Trade Palette project, which will seek to provide BCCC members, Canadian and Brazilian companies and government with the right mix of relevant commercial information and services.

I encourage you to contact us for more information.

Sincerely,

Mary Anderson
President

About The Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce (BCCC)

The Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce (BCCC) is a business association whose primary objective is to foster stronger commercial relations between Canada and Brazil. Established in 1973, the Chamber plays a vital role in keeping Canadian companies and individuals informed of the latest political and economic developments in Brazil.

The principal activities of the Chamber include the organization of conferences, seminars and luncheons which present individual speakers and groups to Canadian audiences in order to disseminate information on Brazil and provide networking opportunities. The Chamber also promotes and facilitates bilateral business opportunities between Canadian and Brazilian companies and individuals.

The Chamber is based in Toronto and operates nationally with over 60 members from across the country. A wide variety of business sectors are represented and members include Canadian companies and individuals with interests in Canada and representatives of Canadian government agencies.

The Chamber works closely with its sister organization, Câmara de Comércio Brasil-Canadá, based in São Paulo, and is also associated with The Canadian Council for the Americas (CCA). The Chamber and the CCA have shared certain administrative resources since 1995 and continue to collaborate on programs and activities of mutual interest to their respective memberships.

In January 2003, the Chamber established a strategic alliance with the Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters Inc. in order to offer a more integrated approach to business opportunities in the Americas.
