The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce (GLCC) is urging our Members, network and community to support local businesses impacted by economic challenges caused by the virus by looking to do business with a GLCC Member first. We also encourage everyone to exercise reasonable precautions and planning in light of this pandemic.

While it is important to treat the COVID-19 pandemic with seriousness, it is also important not to compound the real challenges this virus is causing our business community by unduly curtailing and restrict our own activities locally.

The GLCC is urging everyone in our networking to support local businesses and to do business with a GLCC Member first.

Please use the below updates and resources to make sure your business, your employees and your customers stay safe and remember to "Call A Member 1st". Here is a direct link to the GLCC Membership Directory.

Another great resource to help you support local is Township of Langley's "Buy Local - Open for Business" list.
