For more than 85 years, Ireland and Canada have maintained strong trade links, strengthened by the increasing Irish diaspora in British Columbia. With over 20,000 Irish emigrants now calling Greater Vancouver home, the community continues to grow. In response, the Ireland-Canada Chamber of Commerce Vancouver (ICCCVan) was founded in 2017 to support Irish professionals by offering networking opportunities, business connections, and resources to help them succeed in the local economy.
What We Do
The ICCCVan is a not-for-profit organization that represents, supports and encourages the Irish business community in Vancouver.
The ICCCVan was created to promote, connect, and support Irish professionals and business owners in Vancouver and support trade development between Ireland and Canada. We are the only Irish professional networking organization in Vancouver, offering members a variety of opportunities to promote their business, as well as numerous opportunities for professional education and development. Through our business community and events, professionals of all levels can grow their networks and seek the support of fellow members.

Our Mission
Whether you are brand new to the city, established here for a decade, or have a connection to the Irish community, our mission is the same-to provide value and support to our members by creating business opportunities and connecting talented people throughout Vancouver and beyond. The ICCCVan focuses on the promotion of trade and commerce for Vancouver-based Irish businesses between Canada and Ireland. The Canadian European Trade Agreement (CETA) has created opportunities for businesses to expand into Irish and European markets. Working within CETA, we work to promote trade and commerce between Ireland and Canada and advance the business interests of our members.
