Last week, the @OntarioCofC was delighted to join the @LdnOntChamber for their 46th Annual State of the City Address, where our President and CEO, @DanTisch, spoke just before Mayor @JoshMorganLDN took the stage. Daniel spoke about the "elephant" not in the room – which is the looming threat to Canada-U.S. trade, and how chambers of commerce can work with our governments, and with businesses across the border, to showcase Ontario's strengths, address our economic vulnerabilities and find a better alternative to a mutually destructive trade war. His remarks coincide with the launch of the OCC’s ‘Ontario Competes’ campaign, highlighting the OCC’s strategic priorities for the 2025 provincial election and beyond. The campaign includes our top 12 recommendations to achieve: 1️⃣ A competitive business and trade environment 2️⃣ Qualified people, diverse talent 3️⃣ Healthy and sustainable communities 4️⃣ Growth-enabling infrastructure. Learn more about our campaign here: occ.ca/ontario-competes/. The OCC congratulates the London Chamber of Commerce and Board of Directors for putting together this timely event (that attracted well over 1,000 guests), and to Mayor Morgan for his comments about continued collaboration on downtown revitalization, culture, housing, community health and safety, transportation and much more!
