  • Provincial Advisory Committees (PAC)

  • Purpose

    The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce (ACC) hosts four Provincial Advisory Committees (PACs), one in each Atlantic province, and all meetings are open to staff and volunteers of chambers and boards of trade. These committees focus on business issues that impact members in communities across the province, whether local or regional.

     

    ACC relies on local chambers—rooted in their communities—to bring forward issues that matter most. This input helps us develop action plans and strategies to address these challenges while working collaboratively with regional partners.

     

    PAC members provide strategic guidance on services, policy development, and advocacy efforts. They play a vital role in supporting research and surveys within local chambers and shaping ACC’s policy priorities and direction on behalf of the broader business community.

    Truth and Reconciliation

    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. Learn more click here.
