Advocacy

The Aurora Chamber of Commerce advocates with all levels of government on behalf of our members.  As issues are identified we consult with our members, research the topic and implement advocacy activities that include recommendations and open forum discussions with key government contacts in support of policy change.

On a larger scale, we work with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) on policy development and advocacy on issues that impact businesses across Ontario.

The Aurora Chamber of Commerce is the voice of business in Aurora and we work with the Town of Aurora and our economic development partners to positively impact the Aurora economy.
