Northern chambers are urging the federal government to capitalize on the region's critical minerals. The Timmins Chamber of Commerce played a key role in creating a resolution that was adopted at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce's annual general meeting and policy convention.
The resolution, titled 'From Ore to Opportunity: Building Canada's Critical Minerals Advantage', aims to address the challenges hindering Canada's critical minerals sector. According to Timmins Chamber president Mélanie Dufresne,

Dufresne believes that this policy
provides a clear roadmap to turn Canada's mineral advantage into lasting economic leadership.
