Advocacy & Policy Making
The Ottawa Board of Trade (OBoT) is YOUR Voice for Business in the Ottawa region—all businesses of every size and in every sector.
Ottawa Now, Ottawa NEXT, Ottawa Strong
We work with business leaders, economic stakeholders and our partners at the Ontario and Canadian Chambers of Commerce, as well as our Chamber colleagues in major urban areas across Canada, to ensure a competitive business environment in which our local businesses can thrive.
It is more critical than ever to ensure we have strong, local Board of Trade advancing the economic growth of our community. As a collective, we can influence decision-making, priority setting and legislation far more effectively than any one of us alone.
