At the local level, our focus remains on several key areas, which include monitoring and participating in discussions with our municipal counterparts regarding Development Cost Charges (DCCs) and other matters related to local residential construction. We also actively promote a positive image of the residential housing industry to the media and all levels of government. Over the past few years, our local chapter has successfully built a strong public presence in the community and plays an active role in both the provincial and national levels of our organization.
Our members benefit from a wide range of opportunities, including municipal government liaison, monthly networking meetings, various networking events, industry seminars, professional development, marketing campaigns, and awards programs. These activities allow our members to have their voices heard by local government, establish vital business connections, stay well-informed about the latest industry trends and issues, and gain valuable recognition among consumers.
