Policy & Advocacy
The Red Deer District Chamber advocates on behalf of our members to influence decisions at all levels of government.
Our advocacy starts with our members, through face-to-face meetings, surveys, and other engagement opportunities. We identify issues that may limit business growth and work to develop solutions that we bring forward to government. We also raise awareness of challenges facing the local business community.
We work closely with our partners at the Alberta Chambers of Commerce and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce to address issues that are provincial or national in scope.
To learn more about how we guide our advocacy efforts, review our Advocacy Framework.
The Chamber works with the City of Red Deer and Red Deer County to advance streamlined regulations, support strategic economic development, improve transportation and infrastructure, promote fiscal responsibility, and enhance community safety and vibrancy for local businesses.
In partnership with the Alberta Chambers of Commerce, we advocate to the Government of Alberta for stronger workforce development, competitive taxation, balanced energy and sustainability policies, and fair investment in Alberta’s mid-sized cities.
Through the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, we engage the federal government on trade and market access, immigration and workforce pathways, and federal programs and taxation that support small and medium-sized businesses.
