Message from the President and CEO

The first quarter of this year we have been focused on advocating for an economic growth agenda that will drive affordable, inclusive, and sustainable city building. We submitted budget recommendations at all levels of government, calling for priorities and policies that cultivate a competitive and predictable environment in which business can thrive as well as investments in innovative infrastructure for the future.
