Dear Members,
Below is a message from Tourism HR Canada:
Tourism HR Canada is partnering with the Conference Board of Canada to carry out research on the current and anticipated labour challenges facing the tourism sector. Part of this study includes conducting online focus groups with tourism operators, HR personnel, and other industry professionals who can share their experiences and perspectives on labour. During this online conversation, we’ll be sharing some high-level information from the Conference Board’s recent modelling of tourism employment over the next three to five years, but statistical modelling can only ever tell part of the story. We want to understand how businesses and organizations are being impacted by labour issues, and how they are adapting their operational practices to meet these challenges.
Because of its unique cultural and geographical situation, we are holding a session specifically to engage with tourism operators in the North (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut). We are pleased to be working with TIA Yukon, Spectacular NWT and Travel Nunavut to reach out to tourism enterprises across the North.
Date: 19 December 2023
Time: 13:00 MST (15:00 EST)
Location: Teams meeting
