Lunch with Leaders

March 13, 2026 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM (PDT)

Description

Exclusive MLA Roundtable: BC Tri-Cities 

Join the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce on Friday, March 13 for a focused, high-impact discussion on the issues shaping our local business community with our four MLAs representing the Tri-Cities.

This invitation-only event offers Chamber members a rare opportunity to hear directly from their elected provincial representatives in one room, at one time. MLAs will share perspectives on key provincial priorities and how upcoming decisions may impact businesses, employers, and economic growth across the Tri-Cities.

Hot topics will include:

  • Economic outlook and business affordability in BC
  • BC budget
  • Provincial taxation 
  • Transit and transportation planning 
  • Growth management frameworks and regional planning oversight
  • Cowichan land claim

Following the moderated discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to MLAs, fostering meaningful dialogue and practical insight in a respectful, non-partisan setting.

This event is designed to strengthen the connection between business and government—ensuring the voices of the Tri-Cities business community are heard, understood, and represented at the provincial level.
