On Monday March 25th, Dufferin Board of Trade staff traveled to Toronto to take part in the Ontario Chamber of Commerce Advocacy Day at Queen's Park. The day began with Question Period, followed by Town Hall discussions including members of the PC Government and the NDP Official Opposition.
Following the Town Hall discussions, DBOT staff met with Deputy Ministers at the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, and Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. Topics included skilled trades, housing, budget priorities, access to talent, and transit.
After very productive meetings with the Deputy Ministers, the representatives from Chambers and Boards of Trade from across the Province were addressed at the evening reception by Premier Doug Ford, NDP Leader, Andrea Horwath; Interim Liberal Leader, John Fraser; and Green Party Leader, Mike Schreiner.
