Begin developing a vision of a progressive, sustainable jobs agenda for BC at this one-day conference. Currently, the BC government is putting virtually all its eggs in one basket —expansion of natural gas development, with a promise of economic windfalls and increased jobs for British Columbians. This comes at a time when more aggressive action on climate is needed.
The conference will feature about a dozen short paper presentations and plenty of discussion. We will aim to identify policies that will chart a different path and foster the development of good jobs in BC. The following themes will be explored:
- GREEN JOBS AND LOCAL PROCUREMENT
- FOSTERING THE CO-OP SECTOR
- SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE SECTORS
- THE ROLE OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR
- UNLEASHING THE POTENTIAL OF THE CREATIVE SECTOR AND SOCIAL INNOVATION
