The Board of Directors of the NWT Chamber of Commerce recently took part in the Review of Electricity Regulation, Rates and Subsidy Programs.
To help ensure community chambers around the Territories got an equal chance to participate, the Board moved its April meeting to the NWT Business Development and Investment Corporation office to make use of videoconferencing technology.
The discussion was facilitated by Mark Cleveland, a member of the NWT Electricity Review Team.
Following the session, the Chamber Board has approved seven motions related to the Electricity Review.
These motions have been forwarded to the Review Team and the Energy Planning office of the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment and are available for download as a PDF from the Documents page in the Members Only section of the NWT Chamber website, www.nwtchamber.com.
