What is the role of immigration for smart growth – of companies, provinces and Canada as a whole? This was the focus of the presentation delivered by IEC-BC CEO Kelly Pollack at this year’s Top Employer Summit in Vancouver.

On November 15, Kelly spoke about the way immigration mitigates the current demographic challenges and is a key to our country’s economic growth and innovation. She examined options and challenges this presents to our businesses, and reflected on the implications this has for our “Canada brand.” She also spoke about innovative approaches to immigrant talent attraction for business.

The two-day summit explored the various facets of workplace inclusion,  with some 400 participants representing Canada’s leading employers in attendance.
