Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada

It is with great pleasure that I wish you all best for attending the Niagara Economic Summit 2021, hosted by the Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce (GNCC).

The GNCC is a non-profit, non-partisan, membership-driven organization comprised of 1,500 business enterprises, civic organizations, educational institutions and individuals, and is the second largest Chamber of Commerce of Ontario, dedicated to helping the Niagara region be at its economic and social best.

Niagara Economic Summit 2021 is an opportunity to draw on visionary experts and leaders from around the country and region, to assess and debate where we are right now, where we can go from here, and how we can get there. Niagara Economic Summit 2021 is a shining example of the great work the GNCC conducts, inviting hundreds of business and not-for-profit leaders, elected officials, and senior government staff to debate and transform conversations into actions. Indeed, the GNCC is the voice of business, helping businesses and organizations succeed in order to ensure the long-term economic and social prosperity of the Niagara region.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made planning and hosting events such as Niagara Economic Summit 2021 especially difficult, and I would like to thank the GNCC for making this virtual event possible.

Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable and memorable virtual Summit!
