What is Advocacy – From meeting with elected officials to lobby on behalf of business interests to hosting forums for the public to learn about those running for office, the Chamber provides access to decision makers and insight to policy.
Making your voice heard – Each year the Ponoka & District Chamber has the opportunity to submit policies for consideration and potential approval to both the Alberta Chambers of Commerce and Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Let us know how you feel, we want to know!
