We make doing business easier!
It is the job of the PMCB to give voice to the challenges of our members,
to help make the environment in which they operate more conducive.
We do this in various ways.
By Giving Voice to your Issues
There is strength in unity, and our members give us voice so that together we can advocate, influence outcomes and make things happen. Relationships with government are strong and our business voice is influential. Our representation at all levels (locally, provincially, nationally and internationally) helps to yield positive results for our members. Our voice is your strength.
By Facilitating Investment
We’ll help you take advantage of available incentives and be at hand to intervene should you face challenges or delays.
By Connecting you to Other Businesses
... so that you can do business
We believe in the power of networking and ensure that our members have plenty of opportunities to do just that!
