Floods, Fire, and other Forces: How to Disaster Proof Canada
Climate change - and the severe weather that results - is a current danger not just a future risk. In Canada, insured losses from large natural disasters have been close to or more than $1 billion for each of the past six years. A tropical moisture system resulting from Hurricane Matthew that swept through Atlantic Canada last month resulted in over $100 million in insured damage, most of which was reported to have occurred in Nova Scotia. What can be done to help Nova Scotians, and all Canadians, reduce claims and premiums? Join Amanda Dean, Atlantic Vice-President, Insurance Bureau of Canada, as she shares how the insurance industry, governments and communities can work together to adapt to severe weather. Ms. Dean will also look specifically at trends in commercial insurance and how business owners can reduce their risk

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.
