Public Policy Highlights

Policy Resolutions

We work closely with our counterparts across the province and nation on policy resolutions that inform our advocacy work. The BC and Canadian Chambers of Commerce publish the collection of policy resolutions that we work together to pass at each annual conference. Each volume stays in effect for three years. The following three volumes of policy resolutions below are current, with the 2021 manuals set to be refreshed in 2024 at the annual conferences. It is there that the chamber network will potentially add new policy resolutions, sunset some, and update/keep others.
