About Cole Harbour & Area Business Association

The Cole Harbour and Area Business Association (CHABA) was created with a clear vision: to beautify and promote Cole Harbour as a vibrant, welcoming destination where people want to live, shop, work, and spend time with their families.

From enhancing our community’s appearance to showcasing the many essential services and local businesses we offer, our goal has always been to build pride in our area and attract new opportunities for growth. Over time, CHABA has evolved to also foster meaningful business-to-business networking, helping local entrepreneurs connect, collaborate, and expand their reach.

Today, we are proud to maintain a strong balance between community-focused initiatives and business development. Through events like the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony and the Corn Boil & BBQ at Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum, we bring residents and businesses together to celebrate what makes our community special.

As we look to the future, we are excited to grow our membership, strengthen partnerships, and create even more events and opportunities that benefit both our business community and the families who call Cole Harbour home.
