OCC recently provided a submission to the Government of Ontario on its proposed Ontario Retirement Pension Plan (ORPP). Co-signed by leaders from nearly 50 chambers of commerce and boards of trade, the submission expresses our collective concern that the government's proposed approach to tackle the so-called "undersaving challenge" could have unintended negative consequences for the province's economy.

Yonge Street Construction - Business Support Program
York Region is growing. That's awesome news for businesses. But before we get there we have to build for it. That includes rapid transit, wider boulevards, new water mains and more. Construction can make the going get tough. We're here to make sure everyone keeps going. To help support local businesses during the construction phase, vivaNext has developed a business support program in collaboration with local chambers of commerce and boards of trade that offers tools and information for their continued success as well as opening project information offices in the community. The program also gets the word out that businesses are still open during construction.
Learn more about the Business Support Programs by contacting Community Liaison:
