About the Maple Business Council
Nationally, Canada is the United States' largest trading partner accounting for a greater value of trade than all 27 nations in the EU combined. MAPLE® is building a bridge between Canada and the U.S. as an executive-level organization focused on cross-border investment, trade, and entrepreneurship. Our members and sponsors bring together the knowledge, expertise, and resources to help businesses penetrate these markets successfully.
Our first chapter is MAPLE - The Canadian-U.S. Business Council of Southern California where we focus on connecting Southern Californian and Canadian businesses together for mutual benefit. Since our founding in 2015, we have held over 100 networking events, co-hosted and sponsored countless thought-leadership programs, led 7 trips to Canada and we continue to curate cross-border content on a daily and monthly basis through our social media and content platforms. In 2020, we launched our New York Chapter and deepened our roots in British Columbia after several years of growing our community with a B.C. Chapter. In 2022, we launched our Ontario Chapter to serve our existing members in the Province and to grow our Ontario community. And we have just announced the launch of our newest Chapter - MAPLE Colorado based in Denver.
