Today marks the midway point for Chamber of Commerce week across British Columbia, with the province wide network of 120 Chambers and Boards of Trade celebrating the backbone of local economies, an event noted by the Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation this week as instrumental in the economic recovery.
“Through the extraordinary events of the past two years – floods, fires, heat domes and a global pandemic – chambers have been there to help B.C. businesses pull through. Chambers offer critical local support for businesses, providing key information, resources and referrals. They advocate for businesses and their communities. Thanks to their hard work, B.C. continues to lead Canada’s economic recovery."-- Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation
The Minister also has outlined some of the steps taken by the Province towards addressing skills gaps and assists to business towards the challenges of the pandemic.
Locally, the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce has continued with its roll out of the Live Love Local program, which advocates for local businesses, the information program one which includes some videos celebrating the local business community.
We outlined some of the key elements of that program earlier this month, as the program launched.
To catch up with the latest themes that continue to roll out follow the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce Facebook page.
