Economic Engine: Driving Nova Scotia's Economy Forward
Halifax and Nova Scotia are experiencing record growth in population, GDP, new businesses starting up, and attracting university talent. With a provincial goal of doubling population to two million people in the coming years, how do we begin to shift our goals and define the future of Nova Scotia? The Halifax Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce our first Economic Forum. The Forum will showcase a positive, realistic, and optimistic narrative of where Nova Scotia’s economy is heading post-recovery and how best to navigate the pitfalls while capitalizing on the opportunities. Join us on May 9th to discuss how governments and businesses need to react and respond to ensure they steward the economy in a way that maximizes the potential for all Nova Scotians.

Business Truth & Reconciliation
The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce takes proactive steps to promote reconciliation and respect for Indigenous rights within the corporate sector. In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action 92, the Chamber urges its members to embrace the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a guiding framework.
Recognizing the importance of education, the Chamber encourages businesses to provide comprehensive training for management and staff on the history of Indigenous peoples, including the legacy of residential schools, Indigenous rights, and Aboriginal-Crown relations. Emphasizing intercultural competency, conflict resolution, and anti-racism, these efforts aim to foster a more inclusive and harmonious corporate environment rooted in mutual understanding and respect.
