Local chamber CEO in Washington ahead of CUSMA review

An Ontario delegation in Washington this week has local representation.

Sarnia Lambton Chamber of Commerce CEO Carrie McEachran will be participating in a cross-border business delegation, led by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC), in Washington, D.C, on March 30 and 31.

The delegation is intended to bring together business leaders from across the province ahead of the upcoming review of the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).

During the visit, delegates will engage with U.S. policymakers and industry leaders. Talks are expected to focus on top priorities such as protecting integrated supply chains and reducing trade barriers.

The Chamber of Commerce said as a border community, Sarnia-Lambton has an important role in cross-border trade, and participation in the delegation ensures the area is represented.
