Successful advocacy is a critical feature of the Medicine Hat & District Chamber of Commerce that requires thoughtful consideration. As an organization, we know that the relationships we have with our government bodies can lead to fruitful collaboration, ultimately resulting in a better overall environment that will allow our businesses to thrive. We aim to ensure that our member's voices are heard while knowing that our influence with government, earned through mutual respect, integrity, and authenticity, can be precarious. Like calm waters, there is always more going on beneath the surface, and we spent the last year reflecting on the best ways that we can collaborate with government to effectively advocate for our members.
