Key Issues

The Voice of Business, steering our members toward growth, prosperity and innovation.

The Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce has a long history of success as an advocate on behalf of its membership. We are a respected voice among government decision-makers and our solutions-based advocacy sets us apart.

The Chamber's advocacy role is strengthened through key affiliations with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce (CCC).

The links below will connect you with some of the issues the Chamber is watching closely.

Part of any effective advocacy movement must include dialogue and discussion, please feel free to voice your thoughts by contacting the Chamber's CEO, Nancy Shaw, at 905.728.1683 or by email.
