Canada’s productivity challenge is the defining issue of our time and solving it is the key to unlocking business growth, talent attraction, and long-term prosperity.
Our Annual Policy Priorities-Setting Session is where business leaders, policymakers, and experts come together to help set the Board’s focus for the year ahead. We are relentlessly focused on driving a growth and productivity agenda, and each year we chart our course by reflecting upon the needs of the Toronto business community and the contributions of our members. Join us as we discuss how we’ll tackle the barriers holding us back and spotlight the opportunities that will move us forward.
