Every year, the BC Chamber of Commerce conducts its Collective Perspective survey, B.C.’s most comprehensive economic snapshot that identifies the issues that matter most to businesses across the province.

The data collected informs the policy and advocacy efforts of the BCCC and its provincial network of 100 chambers of commerce and boards of trade.

• Join BC Chamber for the Kootenay inaugural virtual Regional Roadshow, where 2022 Collective Perspective data from our region will be shared with business leaders and community members.

• Each virtual event will include a presentation of the story behind the provincial and regional data and provide an opportunity for members to engage directly with Mario Canseco.

• This event will be chaired by President and CEO, Fiona Famulak, who will be joined by guest speaker and research specialist, Mario Canseco, President, Research Co. and Columnist for Business in Vancouver.
