The group representing visitor-heavy communities in B.C. and Alberta has now released a new guideline listing its top priorities for long-term success.
The Resort Chambers of Commerce Coalition (RCCC), which includes Kimberley, Fernie and the Columbia Valley, has launched its 2026 Advocacy Priorities in light of growing pressures related to workforce availability, housing costs and transportation.
“Resort communities are economic engines, yet too often policy is designed with urban realities in mind,” said Caroline Lachapelle, chair of the Coalition.
“Our advocacy priorities reflect real, on-the-ground challenges shared by resort communities across the country.”
Some action items include strengthening long-term immigration pathways for communities, increasing market housing supply to support year-round residents and local workforce growth, and expanding public transit options in resort regions.
The RCCC is set to engage with all levels of government to advance the resolutions this year.
