US Consul General meets Victoria business leaders

Canada is a trading nation, and many businesses in Greater Victoria provide goods and services to an international customer base. Building connections across borders is vital to helping business operate as smoothly as possible.

On Monday, the Chamber welcomed Vancouver-based US Consulate General Jim DeHart to Victoria.

“I’ve spoken with Mr. DeHart during trade missions in the past and he’s always expressed an interest in learning more about Greater Victoria and Vancouver Island,” Chamber CEO Bruce WIlliams said. “I’m glad we were able to host him for a roundtable with some of our region’s business leaders for a discussion on trade and cross-border relations.”

Topics covered an array of interests, including labour force mobility, credential recognition and ongoing efforts to streamline regulations.
