Community Economic Development Forum
Community Futures East Kootenay invites you to the annual Kootenay Columbia Boundary Regional Community Economic Development Forum.

The Sharing Economy is an important and timely topic of discussion for local government officials and staff, Community Organizers, and professional and volunteer economic developers.

This year's event includes a licensed evening social at the Ground Floor Co-working Space, complete with tapa-style dining, breif presentations and demonstration and casual networking.

Check out the information package for more information about their outstanding speakers and the theme for this year's event.

Access to labour survey
We know that "access to labour" is one of our members' top pain points, which is why the BC Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with the BC Government to gather sharp insights into labour market challenges from YOU.

From an advocacy perspective, this is very exciting because the data collected through the BC Chamber Insights Sector Labour Market Partnerships project offer an additional and untapped avenue of information and insight on current labour market conditions within BC that may be used in labour market and economic analyses developed by the Province of BC.

Workforce challenges in Golden is not new news. Having interest from the provincial government to address them is. Use your voice!
