Role of the Chamber of Commerce The role of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce is to advocate and promote the voice of business. This mandate is defined only within these perimeters, in accordance to its national and provincial charter. The Mission Statement for the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce is "to be the recognized voice of business, committed to the development and enhancement of the econamic well being of the Terrace area.” At times, this role could include being an educational venue for better understanding government issues, or supporting economic activities that attracts business to Terrace. It could also mean using its role to influence government, albeit, at the national, provincial, or local levels. ~. | This past two years has meant that the local chamber supported economic aclivities such as the extension of the airport runway, or the concept of the Terrace Multiplex. It could also.mean encouraging a more receptive business climate by making recommendations and lobbying the local municipal council. This role sometimes means that it wil take a stand that is not popular with all interests in the community. Nonetheless, these decisions are made with the best inlerests of the _ overall business community in mind, While the chamber cannot start business activity on its own, it certainly views its primary role to be ‘a catalyst in encouraging the community to be more business friendly. Simply put, the chamber believes that a strong business climate creates consumer and business confidence, which in turn creates a healthy economy, which then creates employment and healthy communities. ‘For more information on the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce, \ \ call us at our office at 635-2063. : Submitted by Clarence Nyce, Director y JUST KidGin Aventure JUST KIDBIN is under new ownership and with it comes a series of FRE theme parties. .
