CCC Policy Resolution Results |
|
Twelve out of thirteen Alberta-sponsored policies were adopted by delegates at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce AGM & Policy Session in Ottawa on October 14th & 15th, 2022
Alberta carried 27% of the vote, which allowed a strong voice for business in our province at a national level. Thank you to the attendees, community chambers and our business network for your insight and advocacy on behalf of the Alberta business community.
The Airdrie Chamber co-sponsored policy number seventeen and put forth recommendations that the Government of Canada; 1. Invest in Canada’s Community Revitalization Fund to inject funding for an additional two years focused on downtown and main street communities and businesses across Canada and, 2. Focus the eligibility on applications that target downtown and main street projects and programs with a specific focus on those projects that will assist in attracting new investment, support existing businesses, create additional jobs and attract more people to their downtown and main street corridors.
Your Airdrie Chamber co-sponsored the following:
Building Canada’s Community Revitalization – page 53 of the Policy Book.
Endorsements: The Transportation & Infrastructure Committee supports this resolution.
Submitted By: Medicine Hat & District Chamber of Commerce
Supporting Organizations: Airdrie Chamber of Commerce, Edmonton Chamber of Commerce, Fort McMurray Chamber of Commerce, and St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce
The Airdrie Chamber co-sponsored this federal policy among three provincial policies earlier this year at the Alberta Chambers AGM in Lethbridge last May.

We would like to gain insight to the number of Alberta businesses impacted so we can advocate on their behalf.
