Holland House Canada

Holland House Canada was founded in 1979 and rebranded in 2023 from the Canadian Netherlands Business and Professional Association (CNBPA). Today, we are Canada's national Dutch-Canadian chamber of commerce, with chapters in Toronto and Vancouver, and a growing network of more than 200 members across the country. We connect Dutch companies entering the Canadian market with the people, partners, and local knowledge they need to succeed. For Canadian professionals and businesses with Dutch ties, we provide access to a trusted community, practical resources, and meaningful relationships on both sides of the Atlantic. Membership at Holland House Canada means more than networking. It means being part of a community that actively works to advance your business, through events, partnerships, business development services, and direct connections to government, trade, and industry. Holland House Canada is a registered not-for-profit organization, governed by a volunteer board and driven by professionals who are invested in the Dutch-Canadian business relationship.

Our vision

To be Canada's leading platform for Dutch-Canadian business: a recognized national organization that creates real commercial opportunity for its members and strengthens economic ties between the Netherlands and Canada.

Our mission

To advance the business success of our members by connecting them with the right people, partners, and resources, whether they are Dutch companies entering Canada or Canadian professionals deepening their ties to the Netherlands.
We do this through networking, business development services, industry events, and partnerships with trade, government, and commercial organizations across Canada and the Netherlands.

Governance

Holland House Canada is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of experienced business leaders and professionals. The Board is responsible for the strategic direction, financial oversight, and governance of the organization, ensuring HHC delivers sustained value to its members and partners nationally.
