The voice of business in Pictou County Nova Scotia. Proudly supporting local businesses through leadership, innovation and advocacy.

What is the Chamber of Commerce? The Chamber membership is comprised of business and professional people who believe in the free enterprise system and who wish to share their concerns, opinions and experiences for the overall benefit of the community. The Pictou County Chamber of Commerce, established in 1983, is an integral part of the Pictou County community, with strong connections to all businesses, all levels of government, the educational system and other community organizations. The Chamber speaks as a united voice on behalf of the business community, using its strength of membership to positively impact issues facing business and the community at large. The Chamber is a leading business advocacy group, monitoring provincial and federal legislation affecting the business community. Membership in the Atlantic and the Canadian Chambers is our link to regional and national business communities. Your Chamber is dedicated to ensuring Pictou County's continued growth and prosperity. We accomplish this through the combined efforts of our members - people like you! Working Together - business.people.connected. The Chamber of Commerce network in Canada is unique. No other business group benefits from a grass roots base of "action cells" in every federal riding (the local chambers), as well as separate provincial structures and a broad national federation which speaks for more than 130,000 business leaders. Although each level of the chamber system is autonomous and financially independent, the joint development of the local, provincial and national Chambers has required the coordination of activities, policies and programs among the three organizations. This cooperative spirit has made the chamber movement the powerful force it is today, ensure a unified effort on behalf of businesses from main street in Pictou County to Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The Chamber's unparalleled nation-wide partnership serves your interests...and merits your support. It can be counted on to speak up for business and it counts on your involvement at every level.

We are honoured to welcome Madeline Gillis, Canadian Olympic sailor, as the keynote speaker for the 2026 Business Achievement Awards!

Proudly sponsored by RBC, this year’s keynote brings a fitting connection to our theme, Anchored in Resilience. From navigating challenges to finding the strength to weather changing tides, resilience is a quality shared by both elite athletes and the business leaders who help our community thrive.

Madeline’s journey from Pictou County to the Olympic stage is one we are excited to celebrate, and we look forward to hearing the experiences and insights she will bring to this special evening.

Madeline Gillis is an RBC Olympian and Canadian National Team sailor based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She competes in the Nacra 17 with sailing partner Galen Richardson, with the goal of representing Canada at the 2028 Olympic Games. Madeline has represented Canada at the 2023 Pan American Games as well as at four World Championships in the Nacra 17 class.

In 2026, Madeline and Galen received Sail Canada’s Marvin McDill Memorial Award for their performances during the 2025 season, recognizing them as Canada’s Rookie of the Year team.

Thank you to RBC for supporting our keynote speaker and helping us celebrate the determination, adaptability, and ambition that keep Pictou County’s business community moving forward, whatever the tides may bring.
