Letter from the President

On behalf of the Lumby & District Chamber of Commerce, we are pleased to offer to you this informative website featuring the wide range of opportunities that we offer to businesses.

Friendly rural community, scenic beauty, and growing diversified economy make Lumby a great destination point. Our community was founded on, and has relied upon a forestry and agricultural based economy. But we are now experiencing significant growth in other areas.

With virtually unlimited recreational opportunities, our tourism base is well established and growing steadily. We have seen an increase in small business and home-based business as well. The manufacturing industry in the North Okanagan accounts for a significant percentage of employment. This reflects growth and movement towards a more diversified economy.

With increasing demands on our forests, value-added manufacturing of wood products is readily on the increase, this is opening many doors of opportunity in our area.

Whether you are a visitor, a tourist, a business or someone who wishes to relocate, we know that our community and region is the perfect destination.
