The Chamber has approximately 650 active members and its membership is growing. The Chamber won the 2011 and 2012 Arthur P. Earle recruitment awards given by the Federation of Quebec Chambers of Commerce to highlight a particular or original effort to increase its membership. The Chamber has demonstrated sustained effort and hard work to achieve its recruitment goals.

Since the summer of 2013, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Vaudreuil-Soulanges (CCIVS) has obtained from Industry Canada the granting of the territory of the MRC of Vaudreuil-Soulanges. Thus, from a local mission, the Chamber is now adopting a regional approach.

It was in the fall of 2015 that the CCIVS entered into the first agreement with the Association des gens d’affaires de l’Île-Perrot (AGAIP), allowing members of the Association to benefit from the advantages of being a member of the CCIVS. . In September 2016, it was the turn of the OSMOSE community to benefit from a partnership agreement with the Chamber. In addition, the Association des gens d’affaires de Saint-Lazare (AGASL) confirmed its collaboration agreement at the March 2017 AGM. And recently, the Association de gens d’affaires de Soulanges (AGAS ) signed its partnership agreement with the CCIVS in the fall of 2019. Thus, to date, all members of the CCIVS benefit from the strength of the group by having access to 5 major networks of business people in the territory of Vaudreuil- Soulanges with a single membership (CCIVS – AGAIP – AGASL – AGAS – OSMOSE).
