The Point Fortin Chamber of Industry and Commerce is a voluntary business organization dedicated to advancing the commercial, industrial and civic interests of Point Fortin and its environs. The Chamber is committed to uniting business and professional entities of the area and will provide a forum for improving economic activity and enhancing the quality of life in the Southwest Peninsula.

Over the years various organizations and bodies have sought to represent the business interests of Point Fortin and its environs either directly or through affiliations with other regional and national bodies.

Our closest links have traditionally been with the South Trinidad Chamber of Industry and Commerce with whom we have interacted informally from time to time, mainly through individual membership

The milestone achieved today, the formation of the Point Fortin Chamber of Industry and Commerce, reflects the commitment and determination of the Point Fortin business community to come together to help the future in which we all have a stake.

Credit is due in no small measure to the management of the First National Credit Union whose vision and belief that the time was right has led to this successful launch. Throughout the year 1999, the First National Credit Union funded the cost of all planning meetings as well as the legal costs incurred in incorporation of the Chamber
