Advocacy. Policy. Government relations.
Confused? Not sure what any of that actually means?
We wouldn't be surprised!
Our work with all levels of government can be difficult to explain. But the truth is, we are continually working on your behalf to bring business friendly change to all levels of government.
Translation? Our chamber is helping to change provincial and federal laws and focuses. We work to bring your business concerns to government in a way that they can implement changes that will improve the business climate that you work in.
For example, have you ever heard of the Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA)? We bet you have and most likely use one. So where did that idea come from?
You guessed it - our chamber. The idea for a TSFA came from one of our members, and we worked with them through our process to bring it to government, who then adopted and implemented this important initiative. (To learn more about how this process works, click here.)
The TSFA is one of many recommendations to government that we have worked on. To see what we are currently focusing our efforts on, click here.
Going forward, we will be using this blog to keep you updated on these recommendations to government, progress being made, and general updates on what we are working on for your with government.
As you stay informed, if you think of a business concern that you would like to bring forward, let us know! We need to hear from you in order to help improve your business conditions. And of course, if at any time you have further questions about a post or the work we are doing, feel free to comment below, or contact our office.
We look forward to keeping you up-to-date about the important work we are doing on your behalf!
