Engagement with our members in early 2024 identified housing as a critical issue for
local business. We held meetings with MP Gerald Soroka, MLA Martin Long and Mayor Nicholas
Nissen to relay those concerns and start a discussion on solutions. The Chamber wrote to the
Town of Hinton in February 2024 regarding the need for housing and, in turn, council included
housing as an emerging strategic priority in spring 2024 and have begun implementing policies
to address the issue.
