The Southeast Alberta Chamber of Commerce launched our Vote Prosperity 2025 Campaign to Advance Business Priorities in the local Municipal Elections in Southeast Alberta.

Vote Prosperity 2025 is a non-partisan platform developed by the Alberta Chambers of Commerce (ACC). Informed by extensive research and input from Alberta’s business community, the platform urges municipal leaders and candidates to prioritize policies that strengthen business competitiveness, foster meaningful partnerships, build healthy communities, and promote transparent, accountable governance. 

The Chamber encourages candidates and local leaders to recognize that sound municipal governance and a strong business climate are deeply connected. When businesses succeed, the entire community benefits through job creation, investment, and economic stability. 

Vote Prosperity 2025 is built on four pillars: strengthening business competitiveness, growing business partnerships, building healthy communities, and improving government accountability. These priorities reflect key concerns of business leaders across Alberta — from lowering business costs and streamlining local permitting processes to enhancing collaboration, improving housing supply and public safety, and fostering clear communication on municipal budgets and regulations.
