Canadian Chamber and Federal Government Launch Canadian Business Resilience Network to Help Businesses through COVID-19

EIN CBRN 400

April 9, 2020

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has established the Canadian Business Resilience Network to bring together a vast network of over 450 chambers of commerce and boards of trade, and over 100 of Canada’s leading business and industry associations, including Electro-Federation Canada (EFC), and HRAI (Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada), to help the business community prepare, persevere and, ultimately, prosper as we collectively face the COVID-19 pandemic.

Supported by the Government of Canada, the Canadian Business Resilience Network is executing a coordinated, business-led, inclusive campaign with the overarching goals of mitigating the impact of the pandemic on our economy, our communities and our citizens and positioning the business community to help drive Canada’s economic recovery.

The CBRN will:

  • Give tools and supports to businesses in their continuity efforts – from development to implementation.
  • Provide a consistent and reliable flow of accurate and up-to-date information.
  • Work closely with federal government and within the business community to ensure the right supports are in place, and to be a conduit for information from the government to the private sector (and vice versa).
  • Aim to instill confidence in Canadian business and the economy.

The campaign will feature:

  • A standalone website (www.cbrn.ca) that serves as a central hub for credible information, the latest news and insights, tools and resources and as a platform for engaging businesses.
  • Information sharing and awareness building initiatives, including newsletters and webinars.
  • Analysis and reporting on business, industry and economic trends across the country to see what is working and where gaps might exist.
