“A draft City bylaw affecting on-premise signage threatened the viability of our industry. With The Chamber's support, a workable bylaw was developed."

Chamber Policy 

As the Voice of Business, The Chamber must ensure we speak for a majority of our members. Whether an issue is brought forward by a member, our board, a politician or the community at large, we seek consensus and to be well-informed in developing credible policy positions.It is our practice on key issues to establish a task force or committee from within our membership or the board of directors, to provide research and to encourage discussion before policy recommendations are presented to the entire board for approval.
