Sarnia Puts Women in the Picture
On Tuesday, October 2, we had the pleasure of participating in the conference Putting Women in the Picture, hosted by the Sarnia-Lambton Workforce Development Board (SLWDB). It was an exciting group of people concerned with how the women of Lambton County can be more fully supported towards economic security. Deanna opened up the day with a talk on the labour market challenges and opportunities facing women in Ontario, including stats and policy analysis, as well as an overview of the work MTCU is currently engaging in through building Employment Ontario.
The group of about 70 service providers then went into small group working sessions, determining priority issues and trends for Sarnia’s workforce, and developed action plans to addressing those issues. This will provide SLWDB with a concrete plan to take action within the community.
Our thanks go out to Vicki, Jasmine, Kris, and others on the organizing committee for hosting such a dynamic, informative and catalytic event. It looks like this may inspire some exciting initiatives in Lambton County.
