Chamber policy resolution passes unanimously

Work spearheaded by staff at the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce has paid off.

The Chamber’s paper — Adding to Canada’s housing supply by strengthening Canada’s military through housing on military bases — was adopted at last week’s Canadian Chamber AGM.

“I was in Halifax for the conference and there was rigorous debate and amendments made to almost every policy,” Chamber CEO Bruce Williams said. “When our work was introduced, I was happy to see it adopted unanimously. Clearly, housing is an issue across Canada and our West Coast thinking once again leads the way.”

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce AGM was held at the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel and brought together “chamber of commerce executives and community business leaders to discuss the economic and political issues affecting the prosperity of Canadian business and set our policy agenda for the upcoming year.”
