Webinar- Why Chambers Should Care About the Evolving Early Learning and Care Landscape?
Early child education and care has become increasingly topical in recent years, fueled by the Canada Wide Early Learning and Child Care agreements and the resulting demand for space. Economists and business leaders have recognized the critical importance of childcare, not just to secure a productive workforce, but to economic growth and development. Business leaders are now well embroiled in the narrative around childcare and increasingly our Chambers are being drawn into conversations.
Cathy Bennett has been immersed in these conversations for quite some time, provincially as well as nationally in her work with The Prosperity Project. She will discuss why this has become so topical and why Chambers need to be attuned to the issues, presenting dominant themes on how it impacts workers, employers, communities and economies. Discussion will center around the Chambers role in supporting their members and how best to respond to the challenges.Date and Time

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.
