Virtual Event

Join us for a dynamic and action-oriented virtual conversation addressing the most pressing issues Canada’s electricity workforce is facing right now.

We’re exploring the latest industry impacts, from tariffs to labour shortages, discussing solutions to the challenges employers are encountering nationwide. Abacus Data’s David Coletto joins us to discuss the impacts of tariffs, the latest data, and how our workforce is fundamentally reshaping in 2025.

We’ll also take a look at the findings and recommendations from our latest report, Winds of Change, on the labour market dynamics of Canada’s renewable energy sector from today through 2030.

This Summit builds on our previous Roundtables format, providing a collaborative forum for employers, both small and large, policymakers, academics, and labour groups to engage and innovate together.
