Leaders Lunch – Unleashing Prosperity: Connecting Fraser Valley Growth to Canada's Economic Future

October 15, 2025 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM (PDT)

Description


Canada is at a crossroads on energy, infrastructure, and trade.

Join us to hear from national thought leaders and regional business voices to chart a path forward. 

Unleashing Prosperity: the Fraser Valley and Canada’s Economy is a Lunch event hosted at the Chinook Helicopters Hangar. This timely gathering will explore how one of Canada’s fastest-growing regions—the Fraser Valley—can help drive national prosperity amid shifting global and domestic conditions. 

Featured speakers include:  

  • Stewart Muir, CEO of Resource Works

With more than three decades in journalism, including serving as deputy editor of The Vancouver Sun, Muir brings deep expertise in shaping public discourse, policy, and media narratives.
      He established the Indigenous Partnerships Success Showcase (IPSS), highlighting collaborations between Indigenous communities and resource industries, and hosts the Power Struggle podcast, exploring the real-world impacts of energy policy and supply chains. As a leader of initiatives like Unleashing Canadian Potential (UCP), and with a master’s in environmental history from UBC, he remains a trusted advocate for Canada’s resource economy.

Together, they will address key questions: 

  • How do we weather trade volatility and ensure goods produced in the Fraser Valley reach global markets? 

  • What role does infrastructure investment play in strengthening Canada’s competitiveness? 

  • How can industries from agriculture to clean tech position our region as an engine of growth? 

  • How can we build on what we have to attract major projects?

The program will include a moderated panel discussion led by Chamber CEO Alex Mitchell.
