Today, we attended the @OntarioCofC's 11th Annual #Advocacy Day at Queen's Park, joining leaders from across the Ontario Chamber Network to share local priorities and discuss solutions that strengthen business, workforce development, and economic competitiveness across #Ontario.
A highlight of #SCNC2026 has been connecting with students and workforce leaders from across Canada.
Great to connect with the Hon. @PattyHajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families, and Shaun Thorson, CEO of @Skills_Canada, to discuss apprenticeship pathways & #SkilledTrades careers.
We were delighted to welcome the Hon. @DavidPiccini to our booth at #SCNC2026 in Toronto today 🇨🇦
Great conversations about supporting youth, apprenticeships, and the future of skilled trades & technology careers in Ontario and across Canada.
