Chamber CEO David Duplisea and USTATION CEO Glen Hicks explained that this program is their attempt to capture some of the global remote workforce that can work from anywhere, especially people in bigger centres who would embrace a lower-cost, slower-paced but urban place with easy access to natural amenities.

The Saint John Region Chamber of Commerce is pleased to be a part of the consultation process, and we look forward to working with the province to advance our region. The Chamber is and has always been a strong advocate for policy that benefits the region and province, and at the top of our list is municipal reform. We encourage you to take part as well!
