About the event

BCCTC 75th Anniversary Gala

Celebrate the Past. Connect for the Future.

Join the British Canadian Chamber of Trade & Commerce (BCCTC) for a special evening celebrating 75 years of connecting businesses, fostering trade and investment, and strengthening Canada–UK commercial relations.

The 75th Anniversary Gala will bring together business executives, entrepreneurs, government representatives, diplomats and distinguished members of the business community for an evening of celebration, meaningful networking and business connection.

We are delighted to welcome The Honourable Victor Fedeli, Ontario Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, and Fouzia Younis, MBE British Consul General in Toronto, as special guests. More special guests to be announced.

For seven and a half decades, the BCCTC has provided a trusted platform for Canadian and British businesses to build relationships, explore opportunities and expand internationally. As we celebrate this important milestone, we look not only at our shared history, but also at the new opportunities shaping the future of Canada–UK economic cooperation.

A New Chapter for Canada–UK Business

The global business environment is evolving rapidly, making trusted international relationships and strong business networks more important than ever.

With the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) now in force between Canada and the UK as of September 1, 2026, businesses have new opportunities to expand trade, investment and partnerships across Canada, the UK and the wider Pacific region—alongside the existing Canada–UK trade agreement.

The BCCTC remains committed to helping Canadian and British companies connect, enter new markets, build strategic partnerships and turn trade agreements into real business opportunities.

Come celebrate this important milestone, meet fellow business leaders and be part of the conversation about the next chapter of Canada–UK business relations.

Celebrate the past. Connect for the future.

We look forward to welcoming you as we celebrate 75 years of partnership—and the beginning of the next 75.
