The goal is to improve the recruitment and retention of skilled tradespeople – especially in non-traditional groups like women, youth, visible minorities and other under-represented groups. Diverse voices in this sector must be heard, supported and celebrated. (Taped June 19, 2020)

The live Q&A session was on Tuesday, June 16th from 6:30pm to 7:30pm.
