Municipal Candidates Respond to City of Opportunity Platform

Over the past 5 weeks, we have reached out to Candidates to educate them about our City of Opportunity platform and to ask them to ‘say yes’ to our recommendations. The response has been extremely positive with 90% of Candidates completing the survey! In addition, our one-on-one discussions have planted seeds of collaboration and have helped us create a better understanding of the concerns of Chamber Members with those seeking to represent us at City Hall.

Candidate responses to our City of Opportunity platform are now available online. This information has been supplied by the candidates themselves and in no way constitutes the endorsement of any candidate by the Chamber of Commerce. We hope that their responses are helpful to you, our Members, as you prepare to cast your vote.

If you agree that visionary leadership , economic opportunity and quality of life for everyone are important to our city's future, we hope you'll consider endorsing the City of Opportunity platform – it was designed with you in mind. Learn more and endorse digitally at  www.tbchamber.ca/sayyes .

Canadian Chamber of Commerce Webinar: Ready to Roll? Preparing Employers for Marijuana in the Workplace - Replay now available

Perceptions of marijuana have changed dramatically. What was once an illegal drug is now a recognized medical treatment and on October 17, 2018 it will also be a legal recreational activity in Canada. Employers are struggling to adapt to the impact of these changes on the workplace, particularly since technology to measure impairment has not kept pace with changing perceptions.

This webinar replay will address the legal issues and relevant case law, specific to drugs in the workplace, including occupational health and safety and human rights considerations. We will also highlight how employers can practically manage marijuana-related issues in this changing legal landscape. Watch replay here.
