The merger task force is pleased to announce two significant milestones: the signing of the legal agreement between our two organizations and the formal petitions to merge. The petitions have been submitted for approval from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.
While there are no guarantees, the task force estimates that approval will take four to six months. When the merger is approved, the new entity (Surrey & White Rock Board of Trade) will emerge as the largest chamber of commerce/board of trade in BC.
Meanwhile, the staff from both organizations have initiated collaborative efforts, working on a select few co-hosted events and networking opportunities. They are also creating platforms for members to share their feedback and ideas on how this merger can best serve its local businesses, municipalities, and communities.
The task force is committed to maintaining open and timely communications with its members and will continue to publish monthly updates. We are deeply grateful for your favourable vote back in May and for your support and patience as we progress to the next stage of this process.Rory Morgan
