On July 15, a delegation from The Vancouver Board of Trade will travel to Calgary, to present to the Calgary Chamber about current provincial issues in B.C. including:
 
  •  An overview of the business climate in B.C.
  •  Interprovincial business opportunities
  •  The critical relationship between aboriginal issues and economic development in BC
  •  Market access for commodity products and environmental stewardship
  •  The importance of removing barriers to internal trade

Speakers:

  • Iain Black, President and CEO, The Vancouver Board of Trade
  • David Crawford, Vice President, The Vancouver Board of Trade
  • Elio Luongo, Canadian Managing Partner, Tax at KPMG, and Governor, The Vancouver Board of Trade

As neighbouring provinces, Alberta and B.C. have a deep history of collaboration and building strong trade ties. Sharing more than just the Rocky Mountains and the Peace River region, both provinces face similar industry challenges and know that interprovincial collaboration is simply good for business. Working together to solve issues such as opening new markets for resource products and job creation helps ensure both provinces remain globally competitive, while building a stronger Canada.

The Vancouver Board of Trade and the Calgary Chamber of Commerce are committed to reaching beyond our borders to create dialogue, and to facilitate the space for businesses to build meaningful interprovincial relationships.
