Canada’s shifting trade environment is having real consequences in communities across the country. Municipalities are on the front lines, responding to business impacts, labour market pressures and changing economic conditions.
Driven by the London Economic Response Team (LERT), this national webinar will bring together municipal and trade leaders to explore how cities can strengthen their role in Canada’s evolving trade landscape and contribute to a more resilient economic future.
