Canada’s Trade Advantage - March 18th - 19th 2010
Tuesday, 02 February 2010

 EDABC, in coordination with Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, Transport Canada, Western Economic Diversification, Canada Border and Services Agency and Canada Revenue Agency, would like to invite you to join us on March 18 - 19 for a session on using Canada’s tax and tariff advantages to market your municipality to international investors. These benefits include Canada having the lowest statutory corporate income tax rate in the G7 by 2012, the elimination of tariffs on a wide range of machinery and equipment and three export-friendly programs that provide advantages similar to those found in foreign trade zones (FTZs).


The seminar’s objective is to ensure Canada’s economic development and business community has the information needed to support business here in Canada and to attract foreign investment. It will feature presentations on investment attraction from an Asian perspective and the benefits of Canada’s Tax and Duty programs. It will also include an insightful look at the CentrePort model; how it all began and lessons learned along the way. In addition, we have arranged for presentations on the HST and BC’s Marketing efforts for 2010/2011.

We look forward to seeing you in Richmond this March at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel.
