"Pull up a Chair: Summer Update with Local MLAs" Speaker Series Luncheon
Pull Up a Chair:
Summer Update with Local MLAs
A Speaker Series Luncheon with keynote speakers:
MLA Shirley Bond & MLA Mike Morris
One of our regional strengths is the valuable connection we share with our local MLAs, Mike Morris and Shirley Bond. Not only are both of our MLAs local champions and important voices in government, but they work tirelessly to identify and overcome real barriers to business in BC. Join us for lunch and a special presentation from Mike and Shirley as we move into the quieter summer months at the Chamber.
As a guest, you will receive:
- an update on local issues pertaining to Mike and Shirley?s portfolios
- an opportunity to engage with the MLAs during our Q & A session
- and the chance to casually connect with two Northern MLAs and Cabinet Ministers
Thanks to our event sponsor, Kopar Administration, for their generous support.
