Message from the President
Dear Valued Members,
I trust this message finds you in good health and high spirits as we embark on the opportunities and challenges that the new year brings. As we dive into 2024, I am honored to address you as the President of the Canadian Tamils’ Chamber of Commerce.
Our chamber has always stood as a symbol of unity, resilience, and prosperity within the Canadian Tamil business community. Together, we have achieved remarkable milestones, fostered invaluable connections, and contributed significantly to the growth of our members’ businesses. As we look ahead, let us continue to build upon these successes and explore new avenues for collaboration and advancement.
The past year has taught us the importance of adaptability and innovation. Our community has shown remarkable strength, and our businesses have displayed remarkable resilience in the face of unprecedented challenges. It is with this spirit that we move forward, embracing change and seeking opportunities to thrive in an ever-evolving business landscape.
I encourage each one of you to actively engage with the chamber, share your insights, and participate in our upcoming events. Your input and involvement are instrumental in shaping the future of our community, and I am confident that, together, we will achieve even greater heights.
As we celebrate the harvest festival of Thai Pongal today, I extend my warmest wishes to those in our community who are observing this joyous occasion. May this festival bring abundance, prosperity, and unity to your homes and hearts.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the Canadian Tamils’ Chamber of Commerce. Here’s to a year filled with growth, success, and meaningful connections.
Warm regards,
Murali Sivaguru

CTCC's Sock Drive Warms Hearts During Festive Season
In the midst of the holiday cheer and dropping temperatures, the Canadian Tamils’ Chamber of Commerce (CTCC) has once again showcased its unwavering commitment to the community through a successful Sock Drive!
We are delighted to announce the heartwarming success of our recent Sock Drive, made possible by the incredible support and contributions from our members. Thanks to your generosity, we collected a box filled with socks and essential items, all of which were delivered to 360° Kids in Markham.
360° Kids is a charitable organization dedicated to supporting young families and children in need, providing them with the assistance and resources necessary for a better quality of life.
