    Event Description:
    Pre-Covid-19 there were a number of positive economic and labour force trends across Atlantic Canada. The labour force was growing again, the number of international students studying in our post-secondary education institutions was rising and a number of important export industries were on the rise. Covid-19 has disrupted this positive momentum and has introduced significant uncertainty into the economic outlook for the region. During this webinar, Atlantic economist, David Campbell will review recent trends in the economy and labour force, discuss how the pandemic has impacted the economy and speculate on the path forward for the region. What industries are best positioned coming out of Covid-19? What occupations are poised to grow? What are the risks to renewed economic growth?

  • Business Truth & Reconciliation Business Truth & Reconciliation

    The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce is taking proactive steps to promote reconciliation and respect for Indigenous rights within the corporate sector. In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action 92, the Chamber urges its members to embrace the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a guiding framework. This entails a commitment to meaningful consultation, fostering respectful relationships, and obtaining the free, prior, and informed consent of Indigenous peoples before embarking on economic projects. Moreover, the Chamber advocates for equitable access to employment, training, and educational opportunities for Indigenous communities, ensuring they reap sustainable benefits from economic development initiatives.

     

    Recognizing the importance of education, the Chamber encourages businesses to provide comprehensive training for management and staff on the history of Indigenous peoples, including the legacy of residential schools, Indigenous rights, and Aboriginal-Crown relations. Emphasizing intercultural competency, conflict resolution, and anti-racism, these efforts aim to foster a more inclusive and harmonious corporate environment rooted in mutual understanding and respect.
