AGM & Convention

The core business of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce is policy development and advocacy on behalf of the Ontario business community. As a grassroots organization, and Ontario’s Business Advocate, the advocacy activities of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce are greatly enhanced by the participation of our members – Chambers, Boards of Trade and Corporate – on OCC policy. This enables the OCC to advocate policies that can help businesses prosper across Ontario.

The Annual General Meeting & Convention of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce allows members to learn from subject experts, debate policy resolutions and formulate the annual advocacy strategies of the Ontario Chamber. Local Chambers bid to host the AGM & Convention so we can see and learn about all geographic areas of our province.

The 2010 AGM & Convention took place in Windsor, Ontario from April 30th to May 2nd with cooperation of the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce.
