By-laws/Strat Plan

In early 2019 the NWT Chamber updated its Strategic Plan for the period 2019-2022. In the time since that Plan was adopted and initially implemented the Northwest Territories and every province and territory in Canada have been forced to contend with a global pandemic. The short-term economic effects of the pandemic on the Northwest Territories economy have been significant and the long-term effects are yet unknown.

A new Plan is required to set a course for the post-COVID-19 NWT economy. The NWT Chamber can play a significant role in contributing to the recovery of the territorial economy, post-pandemic, and a prosperous future. The NWT Chamber can assist its membership in achieving their objectives by being a major voice from a representative and reasoned foundation. It is paramount that the participation and input of the NWT Chamber membership guides the development of the 2023-2026 Three-Year Strategic Plan.

The Board asked for the facilitation report to be completed and follow-up discussion take place on the preparation of a Strategic Plan for presentation and discussion at the Annual General Meeting. It is expected that the new Executive would approve the Strategy after consideration of the feedback. There are some updates to the Constitution and By-Laws that will also be considered at the AGM, April 15 at the Explorer Hotel.
