Chamber hosts Bank of Canada at conference centre
Last Thursday, The Chamber hosted Bank of Canada Deputy Governor Paul Beaudry for the unveiling of the Bank’s Economic Progress Report at the Victoria Conference Centre. Two hundred business and community leaders were at the event, sponsored by Odlum Brown, the City of Victoria and Grant Thornton.
Beaudry’s speech and Q&A session with Chamber CEO Bruce Williams offered fascinating insight into how the bank decides on raising interest rates.
“On behalf of all Chamber members and our board, I’d like to thank Deputy Governor Beaudry for taking the time to speak with us,” Chamber CEO Bruce Williams said. “He was able to answer some of the questions on the minds of many members, and many Canadians judging by the widespread media coverage Victoria received because of this event.”
The speech was followed by a press conference that was attended in-person by local media as well as virtually by financial journalists across the country.
