With the announcement Monday, by Premier Horgan, that government has been dissolved and that a provincial election will be held on October 24th, the Delta Chamber of Commerce and our province-wide BC Chamber of Commerce network of 150 Chambers and 33,000 businesses will be paying close attention to the election platforms presented – and will be doubling down on our efforts to ensure the parties that want to form government know that more work is still needed on the Economic Recovery Plan.
Last Thursday, the provincial government shared details of its Economic Recovery Plan, Stronger BC. In addition to broad consultation and recommendations, the Stronger BC Plan took into consideration the BC Chamber of Commerce Economic Recovery Submission, which urged big thinking needed to keep BC competitive, innovative, and inclusive.

At this year’s BC Chamber of Commerce AGM in May 2020, the Delta Chamber of Commerce, with the support of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce and the Vancouver and Surrey Boards of Trade, received the endorsement of 125 Chambers and Boards of Trade representing 33,000 businesses across the province for our policy resolution entitled EXPEDITING THE GEORGE MASSEY CROSSING PROJECT. This resolution was adopted and as a result has become part of the BC Chamber’s advocacy agenda with the provincial government.
This was reflected in the recent province-wide and local media coverage of the BC Chamber’s advocacy on this issue, including the Delta Optimist.
