Key provincial concerns include Taxes & Red Tape, Education, Infrastructure, Workforce, and Business Development. Municipal concerns focus on Property Taxes, City Budgets, Business Development, and Infrastructure.

Chamber President Sunil Shah emphasized the importance of policies that support business growth, stating, “When the business community is strong, the entire community is strong.” The documents, which also provide details on running for Mayor or Council, are available at the Chamber office, its website, and various local businesses.
