Policy 

Along with our policy committees, Finance & Taxation, Natural Resource & Environment, we have been actively reviewing policy resolutions that are being presented at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce this week in Calgary. We are in the initial stages of establishing two more policy committees, Transport & Infrastructure and Social Responsibility, which we plan to have fully operational in the next few months.

In May 2024 we are excited to share that we will be hosting the 2024 Alberta Chambers of Commerce AGM & Policy Conference! As well, later this month we will have Lindsay Norrie joining the Chamber team as the new Policy Manager.

A Day Filled With Hope – Years in the Making!
For years the CACAC has been walking hand-in-hand with many different partners, community members, donors, policy makers, and leaders in research and advocacy towards this moment.The Sheldon Kennedy Centre of Excellence now stands in the heart of Central Alberta, the first Centre of its kind in North America, creating space for different strategic partners to operate alongside one another in the best interest of children, youths, and families who have experienced any form of abuse.

This is a great opportunity to learn about why this Centre is so important for Central Alberta.

Beginning at 7:00PM, the public is also invited to the formal program at the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre, which is the building immediately North West of us across the parking lot. The formal program will have many messages and presentations from dignitaries, and you can pick up our Champions of Courage pin, which was minted for the Grand Opening only! Following the program there is a ribbon cutting ceremony.

There is a lot to celebrate, so come out and say hi!
