Modernizing Energy and Infrastructure
The OCC recognizes that economic renewal and business competitiveness cannot be fully realized until our province is focused on Modernizing Energy & Infrastructure throughout Ontario. Affordable and sustainable power from all sources, combined with an investment in modernizing our roads and all manner of infrastructure, will serve to attract and retain jobs and investment in Ontario.
Business advocacy is the essence of the Chamber. At its core is our responsibility to identify the barriers our members face in their efforts to productively contribute to their communities, to build individual and collective wealth, and to contribute to the economic, social, environmental and democratic fabric of Ontario. These obstacles are identified in communities throughout the province through our network of local Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade.
