To start the conversation, the 2021 Labour Market Forum began with messages from association leaders who have been assiduous in responding to the needs of the industry:
- Philip Mondor, President and CEO, Tourism HR Canada
- Darlene Grant Fiander, President, Tourism Industry Association of Nova Scotia, and Chair of the Board of Directors of Tourism HR Canada
- Vince Accardi, Vice-President, Stakeholder Relations and Business Development, Tourism Industry Association of Canada
- Alana Baker, Vice-President, Policy & Public Affairs, Hotel Association of Canada
- Olivier Bourbeau, Vice-President, Federal and Quebec, Restaurants Canada
Individually and collectively, their efforts have done much to help the industry stay afloat.
This session will provide a glimpse at the main challenges they have faced and what they anticipate is needed to help recover the workforce.
