Annual Policy Development Forum

Description

Why get involved in policy? To have your voice heard. At this members-only discussion, we invite you to discuss the issues facing your business - and propose your solutions - or ask others at your topic table to make suggestions.

From labour and housing issues to the impact of street crime and transportation, we develop policy asks - and take your concerns to government and elected officials.

The Kelowna Chamber is among the most active in the country with our policy work. Government and NGOs have acted in response to the work we do with members on issues affecting you and your business. You are the most important piece of this puzzle.

Join us Thursday, November 13th at the Coast Capri for a hot breakfast before we dive into discussions by topic. Every table is moderated by a member of the Policy Advisory Committee. You will have a chance to choose two topics, have lively discussions and play a part in creating change. 

This is a members-only event.
