An Update with Federal M.P., Pamela Goldsmith-Jones

Your Whistler Chamber team recently had the opportunity to sit down with Pamela Goldsmith-Jones, M.P. for West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade. It was such a pleasure to meet Pamela Goldsmith-Jones’ entire team from both the Sea to Sky and Ottawa. Their energy, enthusiasm and passion for supporting our community is amazing!

A few of the important topics we discussed:

• housing and labour challenges
• the federal government’s current efforts towards a National Housing Strategy
• professional development for businesswomen in Whistler
• helping small businesses grow through new export opportunities
• the success of the Whistler Experience

Results for our members:

• Your chamber is keeping the housing and labour challenges top of mind. Our team will meet with Goldsmith-Jones in the fall to workshop local challenges and give local context towards the National Housing Strategy.
• In early 2018 we will work with Goldsmith-Jones to introduce the National Housing Strategy to our business community.
