Our volunteer committees play an important role in advancing the priorities of our business community. Today we’re pleased to highlight the Government Affairs Committee, chaired by Shauna Carr (Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership).

The committee also:
• Reviews government policies, budgets, and regulations that affect businesses

• Engages with municipal, provincial, and federal representatives
• Helps coordinate advocacy initiatives, including government meetings and policy discussions
