Ottawa Board of Trade releases priorities ahead of provincial election

The Ottawa Board of Trade is inviting Ottawa business and community leaders to join the conversation about priorities for the nation's capital ahead of the Ontario election. 

In order to lay a foundation and set a pace of growth in the Ottawa, the board has launched a new initiative dubbed 'Build Up Ottawa,' which calls on political leaders to make innovative investments that drive economic inclusivity and sustainability.

“Particularly after the last couple of years, I think all of us should be looking at this provincial election as an opportunity to talk about what's important to us in our community and how to make sure, that in Ottawa, we are prioritizing a pro-growth agenda, Ottawa Board of Trade chief executive officer Sueling Ching told The Sam Laprade Show on Monday, May 16. “We worked really closely with our colleagues across Ontario to release the Growth Prosperity Report, which we released in April, but we also wanted to talk about, specifically, what was important to Ottawa. Working with many of our local business and community leaders, and validating this information with our membership, we decided to release our strategy which helps us hone in on what we consider the top five priorities for Ottawa.”
