The Morden Chamber of Commerce Annual General Meeting is held annually in March; the Mayor is invited to present the State of the City Address.  The board of directors is elected by the membership and the reports from the previous year are adopted.

Business After Hours Mixer

It’s complimentary for chamber members and offers the opportunity to mingle with other busy business people while supporting the honoured host and learning more about their business.  Hosts open their doors for the Business After Hours, which features food, drinks, door prizes and of course plenty of networking.

Held 3-4 times throughout the year.

The Morden Chamber hosts an annual Awards Banquet where we recognize the outstanding contributions and achievements of the business community. Nominations are submitted by the general public and evaluated by a committee. The Award categories changed in 2023 to include: Business Excellence Award; Entrepreneur of the Year Award and Community Builder of the Year Award.

Community Open Golf Tournament

The MDCC Community Open golf tournament is a casual fun way to connect with other people in the community.  No golf skills are required for this fun 9 hole scramble with lots of fun contests and prizes.  This annual event is open to everyone and takes place on a Thursday evening in June at the Minnewasta Golf & Country Club followed by a BBQ dinner on the patio.

2025

Thank you to everyone who came out to join us for the annual Morden Chamber of Commerce Nine & Dine golf tournament in 2025! We are grateful to have added the back nine holes of the beautiful Minnewasta Golf course to our tournament, which enabled us to host double the golfers. After nearly selling out the tournament, we are proud to call 2025’s Nine & Dine Golf Tournament a resounding success.

A special thank you to this year’s Sponsors:

We look forward to welcoming everyone back next year for another great evening of networking and celebrating local business.
