The Strait Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to host Colleen Cameron with the Antigonish Poverty Reduction Coalition (APRC) to discuss the concept of a living wage and how employers can use wage and other compensation strategies to attract and retain employees, and to boost employee productivity. Talent attraction continues to be the number one issue facing businesses in rural Nova Scotia. The research conducted by the APRC will explore the benefits of making a living wage strategy a priority for businesses, and how it can help them be more successful and profitable in the long-term. This Small Halls | Big Ideas event will also include the official launch of the Strait Region Vital Signs Report that highlights the challenges and opportunities facing communities across the region!

Business Truth & Reconciliation
The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce takes proactive steps to promote reconciliation and respect for Indigenous rights within the corporate sector. In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action 92, the Chamber urges its members to embrace the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a guiding framework.
Recognizing the importance of education, the Chamber encourages businesses to provide comprehensive training for management and staff on the history of Indigenous peoples, including the legacy of residential schools, Indigenous rights, and Aboriginal-Crown relations. Emphasizing intercultural competency, conflict resolution, and anti-racism, these efforts aim to foster a more inclusive and harmonious corporate environment rooted in mutual understanding and respect.
