What our members are saying

Our long standing partnership with the Atlantic Economic Council has been invaluable. We are extremely fortunate to have the Atlantic Economic Council in Atlantic Canada to provide independent analysis of issues that impact our prosperity, provincially and as a region.

Sheri Somerville, (previously) CEO | Atlantic Chamber of Commerce Inc.

Evidence based decision making is critical for corporations, government, and NGOs and the Atlantic Economic Council fills that critical role in Atlantic Canada.

Dr. Rob Greenwood, (previously) Associate Vice President | MUN

Now more than ever, Atlantic Canada, including its governments, needs an independent, non partisan voice to deliver and champion the research, rationale, and the guidance to help the region act and view itself as one. Based on experience with the Atlantic Economic Council, it delivers that and more.

Fred Crooks, Chief Regulatory Officer | Government of NS
