2022 Municipal Election Consultation – Seeking Members To Participate

As the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce looks to the 2022 Municipal Election happening on October 24, it is time to prepare our election advocacy campaign strategy.

The Chamber will execute an engagement and consultation exercise with our membership to exchange in dialogue and robust conversation about key policy issues important to their operations. From there, a combination of those findings and existing policy priorities will be synthesized into key messages that the Chamber will broadcast over the course of the municipal campaign to draw candidates’ attention to these issues and compel them to comment on plans to support local businesses and Hamilton’s economy.

To begin this process, the Chamber is inviting members to sign up for one of six one-hour consultation opportunities taking place between August 15 – September 1 to provide feedback and contributions that will inform our 2022 municipal election advocacy strategy.

At this early stage, we currently have a “Ready for Business” ethos in mind. Following the past few challenging years, this campaign speaks to where the Hamilton economy is going and will help to inform what Hamilton businesses need from their municipal leaders to succeed and grow their operations.
