The Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal presents its Bell International Leaders Series

The CCMM is a non-profit organization that has been a strategic actor in Montreal’s development for nearly 200 years. Our predecessors demonstrated unfaltering commitment to defending the interests of Montréal’s business community in order to allow our city to develop and prosper. The positions that they championed and the achievements that they implemented are many, spanning such sectors as education, economic development, culture, municipal administration, and transportation.

In continuing this legacy, we have become the largest private organization dedicated to economic development in Québec. Our initiatives extend outside of the workplace and include programs for matching newly arrived immigrants with employment opportunities, and for reducing high-school dropout rates by creating a dialogue between students and the business community.
