Sarnia Lambton Advocacy Days at Queen's Park

Close to 40 members of the Sarnia-Lambton Chamber of Commerce will be at Queen's Park on Monday and Tuesday for Sarnia-Lambton Advocacy Days.

The two day initiative focuses on promoting the region's economic priorities, innovation, and opportunities for growth.

CEO Carrie McEachran said advocacy is at the heart of what they do as a chamber.

“Our delegation is bringing the collaborative spirit of Sarnia-Lambton to Queen’s Park — sharing our region’s success stories, addressing our challenges, and strengthening partnerships that will help build a prosperous future for all," she said in a media release about the plans.

The 38 member delegation will meet with provincial ministers, parliamentary assistants, and senior ministry staff to discuss key issues impacting local businesses and communities.

McEachran said the chamber’s goal is to strengthen relationships with provincial decision-makers and ensure the voice of local business is heard on matters that shape Ontario’s economic future.

A highlight will be an MPP breakfast reception, where delegates will be joined by Sarnia Lambton MPP Bob Bailey and local vendors to showcase some of the many products and innovations made in the region.
