Info Session for Businesses
Re: Vaccination Verification
September 17, 2021 | 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM | Virtual
Registration deadline: Sep 17 at 7 am
Recording will be made available on OBoT website.
The Ottawa Board of Trade has partnered with Ottawa Public Health, the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Coalition of Business Improvement Areas to answer your questions about vaccination verification. Presenters include: Sueling Ching, President & CEO of OBoT, Michelle Groulx, Executive Director of OCOBIA, and officials from Ottawa Public Health, and Ottawa By-law & Regulatory Services.
To respect the presenters and attendees, we stress that this session is not to debate any passport or verification system that has been mandated by the province. It is to provide businesses with the information required to implement the system. We ask that all attendees share this respect to allow for an informative session.

The Ottawa Board of Trade has been working with Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade across Canada as well as local economic partners and businesses to ensure that Ottawa region priorities are addressed by Canada's next Parliament.
In collaboration with Leger and the Canadian Global Cities Council (CGCC), OBoT conducted a federal election survey to create a clear picture of
public and business community views on key election issues.
Sueling Ching, President & CEO of OBoT, and David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data,
met with local representatives about these priorities and issues that
matter most to the Ottawa business community.
