A field trip to the BC Legislature!

Earlier this month, our team joined CEO, Janet in Victoria as she presented to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services, advocating for stronger workforce planning, recognition of employment services as essential infrastructure, and greater investment in community workforce partnerships across BC.

It was incredibly inspiring to see Janet's advocacy in person for such an important cause. Go Janet!
