The Fourth Wall
 We were in London, England several years ago on a guided tour and I always remember we'd seen pictures, but it wasn't enough. We wanted to be there and experience it ourselves. We arrived in London and purchased a city tour that would give us a view of the city scape.
Excitement grew as we stood with our fellow tourists while the tour guide introduced himself and gave instructions. "My name is John and I'll be taking you for a two-hour tour. You'll be able to talk to me on your headset, so if you have questions, just ask." As we drove through the city, we held our breath. As the first sights of the majestic city came into view and we all gasped in amazement. "John, do you ever get tired of this magnificent city. It must be a thrill every day!' I asked enviously.

BC Chamber of Commerce
As you are all aware the BC Chamber has partnered with the Business Council of BC on a new initiative, the BC Agenda for Shared Prosperity.
I think it is fair to say that this project is one of the most exciting initiatives undertaken by the Chamber in some time. The BC Agenda is an ambitious project that, if successful, has the potential to fundamentally shift the decision making process in BC for the betterment of all British Columbians.
The BC Agenda fundamentally seeks to find new ways of creating prosperity and better ways to distribute it.
As we have engaged chambers and businesses in this discussion we have found a high degree of excitement around the potential this project has for the communities and regions around the province.
To ensure that we continue to communicate progress on this project, I am pleased to provide you with this update on our recent activities on the BC Agenda for Shared Prosperity.
