THE CHAMBER & ADVOCACY

We are part of the BC Chamber of Commerce. The BC Chamber of Commerce is the province's largest and most successful business advocacy groups and part of the National Chamber network.

Over 33% of the policy motions that the BC Chamber presents to the provincial government are adopted into legislation. That's real-time political change and assistance in creating a more favourable business climate.

Chambers impact change through their work on policy. Talk to your chamber today about your local, provincial or federal business issues. Participate in the dialogue representing our collective business environment. VISIT OUR PAGE ON POLICY!
