Provincial Advocacy

At the provincial level, the Chamber collaborates with the Alberta Chambers of Commerce to advance policies that drive competitiveness and economic growth across Alberta. Our provincial advocacy focuses on workforce development, taxation, infrastructure, and energy policy, key areas that directly impact the success of local businesses.
