    Northern Chambers to meet with Ministers in Victoria.
     
    February 19 - 23, 2018 is Chamber of Commerce week in the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality and in the  Province of British Columbia.

    The Fort Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce will be joining the BC Chamber of Commerce and other Northern Chambers in Victoria during Chamber Week to meet with Cabinet Ministers. 

    We have confirmed meetings with the following Ministers:
    • Minister Carole James - Minister of Finance and Deputy Premier
    • Minister Doug Donaldson - Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations, and Rural Development
    • Minister Bruce Ralston - Minister of Jobs, Trade, and Technology
    • Minister Harry Bains - Minister of Labour
    • Minister George Heyman - Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy
    We are hopeful that additional meetings will be added and are looking forward to the opportunity to  address our members concerns directly with our provincial representatives.  Some of our priority issues are a rejuvenated forest industry and community forest, supporting natural resource development & specifically LNG,reconnecting communities to natural resources and health services,  
     
    The Fort Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce works hard advocating for our members at all levels of government.  It is through the support of our members we are able to continue to provide the voice of business.
