Dear Minister Bethlenfalvy, <\/strong><\/p>\n RE: Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce & Downtown Oshawa Business Association (DOBA) Consultation Submission<\/strong><\/p>\n The Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and DOBA would like to thank you for the opportunity to participate in the 2022 pre-budget consultation process. Through the combined work of our groups, we represent the interests of the business community in the largest city within Ontario’s third-largest region, The Region of Durham.<\/p>\n Following feedback from our member businesses and further consultation with our government relations committee, we have outlined several investment areas that will help encourage continued economic growth and a return to prosperity for the businesses and people of the Greater Oshawa area.<\/p>\n Along with other large cities such as Hamilton and London, and specifically in its downtown core, Oshawa finds itself disproportionately affected by these widespread social issues negatively intersecting with business.<\/p>\nHOMELESSNESS\/OPIOID ADDICTION & POISONING<\/h2>\n
