  • The Power of Advocacy: Strengthening Atlantic Canada’s Business Community

    At the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce (ACC), advocacy is at the heart of what we do. As Atlantic Canada’s largest, most inclusive, and credible business network, we work tirelessly to ensure that the voice of our region’s business community is heard at all levels of government.

     

    Why Advocacy Matters

    A thriving business environment is essential for economic growth, job creation, and community prosperity. The ACC is a non-partisan business advocate, engaging directly with policymakers to shape policies that foster innovation, investment, and competitiveness. By addressing pressing policy issues and advocating for strategic solutions, we help businesses navigate challenges and seize opportunities for success.

     

    A Unified Voice for Stronger Impact

    Through collaboration with our network of local Chambers and Boards of Trade, we amplify the concerns and priorities of businesses across the region. We believe that we are stronger together, and a strong business community is the foundation for a prosperous Atlantic Canada. By uniting businesses of all sizes and industries, we drive meaningful change and create an environment where businesses can thrive.

     

    Our Commitment to Business Growth

    The ACC champions policies that support economic development, workforce attraction and retention, innovation, and infrastructure investments. By working with government decision-makers, we ensure that businesses have the resources, support, and competitive conditions they need to succeed.

    Join us in advocating for a brighter economic future. Together, we can build a resilient and prosperous Atlantic Canada.

    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.
