The program will work closely with Chambers of Commerce, Business Improvement Associations (BIAs), and Boards of Trade in communities across Canada to meet the unique climate resiliency needs of businesses in each region.
To bridge this gap, ASI’s project will work closely with Chambers of Commerce, Business Improvement Associations (BIAs), and Boards of Trade in communities across Canada. This collaborative approach ensures the program is tailored to meet the unique needs of businesses in each region. The initiative includes two interconnected capacity-building approaches:
- Customized eLearning Tools: Accessible, on-demand content designed to provide SMEs with foundational knowledge about climate change and its business implications.
- In-Person Workshops: Local, interactive sessions to deepen learning and help business owners create actionable plans for climate resilience.
This partnership-driven approach ensures that businesses not only gain practical tools and knowledge but also have the opportunity to engage directly with local organizations that understand their challenges and opportunities.
ASI is proud to partner with Definity Financial Corporation on this initiative to strengthen the resilience of Canadian businesses and the broader economy. Over the coming year, Definity’s financial support will allow ASI to undertake capacity-building efforts with three Chambers of Commerce, Business Improvement Areas, Boards of Trade, or other localized business network.
