Who we are

We’re your Welcoming Committee, Concierge, and Resource Team for business in Canadian. Our one goal is to bring you, your job and your business to Canadian and help you to thrive when you get here.  

Our Canadian-Hemphill County Community & Economic Development partnership is rooted in our community’s long history of development by entrepreneurs, small business owners, and dreamers. Together they built an exceptional community in a beautiful, natural setting. Since 1885, Canadian has provided a unique combination: dedication to a high quality of life, and commitment to surviving and thriving as a business community. Always looking to the future, Canadian and Hemphill County leaders in the 1970’s and ‘80s put the building blocks of our partnership in place. Today, our partnership is ready to welcome you home to Canadian and to help you build your dreams.
