Infrastructure Policy Council
Workforce Development Policy Council
Better understanding and addressing Ontario’s skills mismatch and workforce development issues has been a longstanding priority for the OCC and its members. The OCC will continue its on-going work on this file with the Workforce Development Council. The Council consists of leading experts from business, academia, and our Chamber Network.
Energy Policy Council
Launched in January 2020, the OCC’s Energy Policy Council is a cross-section of energy sector stakeholders that regularly informs our policy and advocacy efforts on a variety of energy issues. This initiative is supported with insights and technical expertise from Sussex Strategy Group’s Energy and Environment Practice.
Health Policy Council
Launched in April 2020, the Health Policy Council is composed of a diverse cross-section of our members who come together to exchange ideas, inform OCC priorities, and provide government with timely recommendations.
Although the Council was in development prior to the COVID-19 crisis, now more than ever, the participating members’ direction will be critical to support the health care system today and lead recovery tomorrow.
Mining Policy Council
Launched in March 2025, the Mining Policy Council, a key part of our initiative, Ontario’s Mining Future 2023, will identify solutions to help the sector to capitalize on growth and position Ontario as the preferred jurisdiction for responsible mining.
Trade & Competitiveness Policy Council
A strong and predictable business environment is the foundation for economic growth, particularly as Ontario confronts rising protectionism abroad and intensifying global competition for investment. To confront these challenges, the OCC has launched the Trade & Competitiveness Policy Council to bring together business, chamber and sector leaders to strengthen Ontario’s ability to attract capital, scale and grow businesses, improve the ease of doing business, and compete across borders.
