Carbon Pricing Panel Discussion

The event is being co-hosted by the Truro & Colchester Chamber of Commerce and the Pictou County Chamber of Commerce.  
All chambers of commerce and boards of trade are invited to attend.  The topic of carbon tax, or carbon pricing, has circulated in the news for the past few months and businesses may be unclear to what extent the policy framework will impact their business.
