Government Relations

The role of the CHBA-Edmonton Region Government Relations Committee is to proactively represent the interests of the home building industry in the Capital Region to government. On matters of a provincial or national nature, the GRC coordinates through its provincial and national counterparts within the CHBA.

The Committee is Responsible For:

1. Developing and maintaining long-term relationships with both the political and administrative representatives within all jurisdictions of the Capital Region, thus establishing the CHBA-ER as a partner in all decisions affecting the industry;
2. Developing information networks that keep The Association continuously apprised of all issues before they become issues;
3. Engaging Association members of significant stature within the industry to sit on the committee who are able to influence the decision-making process; and
4. Maintain strong ties with the media that enable the industry to provide timely and effective input on matters of public interest.
5. Review and monitor information that comes from the various municipalities and CHBA committees and create appropriate responses to achieve resolutions to the issues identified.
6. Cooperate and coordinate action with other committees locally and provincially.
7. Ratification of the annually budget created to reflect activities necessary to carry out their mandate not overlooking any opportunity to carry out a profit.
