Tariff Resources

Our trade relationship with the United States is facing heightened tariff pressures, directly impacting local businesses in Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley. For example, the British Columbia government estimates that under a 25% tariff scenario, the province could lose $69 billion CAD in economic activity between 2025 and 2028.
