Norbram is proud to support initiatives that empower local businesses and strengthen Ontario’s economic future. One of the most important opportunities of the year is quickly approaching: the Toronto Region Board of Trade’s Annual Policy Priorities-Setting Session, taking place in person at The Quay – 100 Queens Quay East, 3rd Floor. This impactful event brings together business leaders, policymakers, and industry experts to address one of Canada’s most pressing challenges—our national productivity gap. Productivity is at the heart of business competitiveness, talent retention, and long-term economic prosperity. That’s why this annual session plays a critical role in identifying the priorities that will shape the Board’s work for the year ahead. It’s not just about discussion—it’s about driving action.
