Another win for the collective business voice of North Vancouver!
The Policy Resolution submitted by the NV Chamber at the recent BC Chamber AGM, “ Investment in Senior care – The Economic Impact of the Silver Tsunami “, was adopted by the BC Chamber business membership.
We are proud to have working together on this Policy with a Senior Sector Roundtable group representing a broad range of NV senior sector businesses and non-profit organisations. This Policy Resolution calls for improvements in senior care policy to help support seniors and those who care for them. We hope that in future more people will be able to get back to work with knowing that safe care is available for their loved ones.
The adoption of this resolution means that the entire BC Chamber community has endorsed this proposed course of action and will collective be representing this in discussions with the provincial government.
Other NV Chamber advocacy work supported active collaboration with submitting Chambers on policy submissions including:
- AUTO COLLISION REPAIR (Autoglass & Towing) INDUSTRY – ICBC PRICING MODEL COMPETITIVENESS
- INCLUSION OF ICI RECYCLABLES INTO THE PROVINCIAL RECYCLING REGULATIONS
The NV Chamber has a strong advocacy voice backed up by a strong thread of Policies in the BC Chamber Policy Manual that represent the broad business interests of North Vancouver.
