Poilievre to speak at Medicine Hat College business event Oct. 1

The Conservative leader will address economic competitiveness and trade at an event co-hosted by MP Glen Motz and the Southeast Alberta Chamber of Commerce.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is set to visit Medicine Hat on Thursday, Oct. 1, for a business-focused discussion on Canada's economy. The event, titled "An Evening with Pierre Poilievre: Building a Stronger, More Competitive Canada for Business," will be held at the Eresman Theatre at Medicine Hat College starting at 7 p.m.

The evening is co-hosted by MP Glen Motz and the Southeast Alberta Chamber of Commerce, and is expected to draw business leaders, entrepreneurs, agricultural producers, manufacturers, professionals and investors. Topics planned for discussion include economic competitiveness and productivity, trade and market access, energy and agriculture, workforce challenges, housing, infrastructure and regional development.

Chamber president Aaron Fleming said the event gives community members a chance to hear directly from decision-makers on issues affecting business growth. The Chamber says the region continues to face workforce shortages, affordability pressures, housing challenges and shifting trade relationships. The organization describes itself as non-partisan and says it regularly hosts speakers from across the political spectrum.

A networking reception will follow in Centennial Hall at Medicine Hat College. Registration and further details are available through the Chamber's website.
