The South Shore Economic Alliance (SSEA), formerly known as Lunenburg Queens Business Collective, was established in 2023 to unite the Chambers of Commerce, Boards of Trade, and Tourism Cooperatives along the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
Why Support SSEA?
Why Support SSEA?
SSEA is here to connect the people, organizations, and ideas that can strengthen the South Shore economy.
We serve as a regional connector and facilitator, helping businesses, chambers, boards of trade, tourism organizations, municipalities, educators, community groups, and private-sector partners find opportunities to work together. When groups are pursuing similar goals — from youth labour programs to workforce development, entrepreneurship, tourism, or business growth — SSEA helps open the conversation, reduce duplication, and build partnerships that can achieve more together.
Our role is not to own every initiative. Our role is to help good ideas find the right partners, the right support, and the right path forward.
Your investment helps us:
-
Support businesses and innovators with education and networking
-
Celebrate and promote excellence across industries
-
Boost economic development and collaboration
Gain visibility & recognition

SSEA CONNECTS VISION WITH ACTION – bringing people, businesses, and communities together to build a stronger South Shore economy.
We’re a small but mighty team with a strong track record of bringing people together. But we can’t do it alone. Your support will turn this collection of key events into a powerful community initiative that strengthens business success across the South Shore. Let’s do this together!
