The Ontario Business Advisory Council (OBAC) series brings together high-profile senior officials from the provincial and federal governments with a small group of key business stakeholders for frank and open discussions in a breakfast or lunch-style setting.

On September 16, 2025 the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) and the Climate Positive Energy Initiative (CPE) at the University of Toronto will host our 3rd annual Smart Growth Symposium.

The event will include panel discussions, fireside chats, a presentation, roundtables, and other content of interest to the business community, including on topics related to sustainable finance, emerging technologies, smart mobility, workforce development, and smart agrifood.

The Ontario Economic Summit (OES) brings together thought leaders from business, labour, academia, the not-for-profit sector, and government to discuss and shape Ontario’s public policy agenda and strengthen the economy.

Under the theme “Leadership Across Borders,” this year’s summit will examine the bold leadership required to strengthen economic progress. As Ontario deepens its international trade relationships, advances regional and national economic integration, and fosters cross-sector innovation, leaders must champion strategies that break down barriers and build new pathways for growth.

The Ontario Business Achievement Awards (OBAAs) is one of the most distinguished industry celebrations recognizing business success in the province. For over 40 years, the awards have celebrated the incredible innovations and accomplishments of businesses of all sizes, sectors, and corners of Ontario. Now in its sixth year as a television broadcast, the OBAAs have expanded their reach across Canada.

This event is designed to bring together Ontario’s business community to engage in conversation with Ontario’s Chiefs of Staff.

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) was proud to join forces with the Empire Club of Canada for the launch of our 2025 Economic Outlook and Business Confidence Analysis on February 13.
