Description
Introducing: The Greater Charlottetown Area Chamber of Commerce Economic Recovery Series
Join us for our newest event series as we collectively work towards economic recovery. These sessions will feature important discussions and Q&As with various speakers, including federal, provincial and municipal politicians, economists, economic development professionals, and other subject matter experts.
In this edition with the Honourable Matthew MacKay, Minister of Economic Growth, Tourism and Culture, the Chamber will pose questions relating to PEI’s economic recovery and growth forecasts as the pandemic lingers throughout our Island’s economy. Our discussion with Minister MacKay will focus on his department’s jurisdiction and what he expects to come as PEI comes out of the pandemic, challenges businesses are facing, what government is doing to prepare for economic recovery and growth, and his department’s plans for tourism season 2022.
