Strategic Plan

If you’ve ever felt ignored by government, you know how important it is to have the right connections, influence, and expertise behind you. 

We’ve got the connections. 
We maintain strong relationships with elected officials and staff at all three levels of government, helping ensure the voice of business is heard when decisions are being made. 

We’ve got the clout. 
As the voice of Thunder Bay’s business community, we advocate on behalf of our Members locally, provincially, and federally through our partnerships with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. 

We’ve got the know-how. 
For more than a century, we’ve monitored policy issues, gathered Member feedback, and championed positions that support local businesses and a strong regional economy.
