The event began with a special panel discussion on the future of work in the transitioning energy economy, with Mark Cameron, Deputy Minister, Policy Coordination Office, Executive Council, Government of Alberta, Elizabeth Cannon and Paul Thompson, Associate Deputy Minister, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, moderated by Ilse Treurnicht, Former CEO, MaRS Discovery District.

Energy is a primary employer and source of economic growth in Canada, with many of these jobs concentrated in Alberta. Radically new jobs, processes and ways of working are being created through technological and creative advances, especially in the energy sector. Industry skills and labour needs are changing, as are the flow and makeup of workers across jobs. What do we need to do to support people in work as Canada’s energy needs and energy sector jobs change? What are the opportunities to ensure Alberta’s workforce stays competitive as energy and work changes?
In supporting this panel, PPF is grateful to Brave New Work lead sponsor TD Bank Group and our partners: Business Council of Canada, Canadian Bankers Association, Cogeco, Deloitte, General Motors Canada, ESDC, ISED, Metcalf Foundation, and Unifor.
