No project moves forward without people. And no workforce can thrive without housing.

This session reframes workforce development and housing as core economic infrastructure, essential to delivering projects and unlocking growth across the North. Panelists will explore the direct link between labour availability, training, community capacity, and the ability to execute major initiatives.

The discussion will highlight practical solutions, from training pathways to housing delivery models, and examine how coordinated approaches can enable both immediate project success and long-term economic resilience.
