Description
Local businesses are increasingly feeling the impact of changes to federal immigration policies, making it more difficult to recruit and retain immigrant talent. This session is designed for employers and community stakeholders who are directly affected by these challenges.
Join Riley Wilcox, Immigration Resource Advisor with Kootenay Employment Services, on Friday, June 13, for an informative presentation on the newly launched Employer Staffing Immigration Survey. Learn how your participation can:
- Support employer hiring needs
- Inform provincial and federal policy makers
- Shape future engagement sessions and resources
Join the discussion by taking a quick 5–10-minute survey, where you can stay entirely anonymous, and help us drive positive change.

Your input is essential in helping create a responsive and informed approach to staffing and immigration.
