With the recent creation of the IRAC Review Commission, led by Rory Francis and Dawn Binns, there is a critical opportunity for the business community to have its voice heard, and we want to ensure Summerside and area businesses are part of that conversation.

We are calling on our members to share their feedback, insights, and experiences related to IRAC and its impact on your business. Your input will play an important role in shaping how we advocate on your behalf.

The Chamber will compile all submissions into a collective response and present a unified voice to the Commission’s team, ensuring that the needs, concerns, and priorities of our members are clearly represented.

We strongly encourage you to take a few moments to share your perspective. Your voice matters, let’s make sure it’s heard.
