You are invited to an important Town Hall meeting, to discuss recommendations for revisions to our Chamber’s Constitution.
Our Constitution was written in 1981 and is dated, in some places no longer reflecting the nature and goals of our organization. Our Constitutional Reform Committee, including legal experts, has spent the past year and a half modernizing it to better reflect our organization's needs – with a focus on democracy and transparency. The end goal is to allow us to best pursue our mandate of strengthening the ties between Canada and Japan.
