To attract great people, we need great places to live. In today’s highly competitive hiring marketplace, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to attract and retain skilled labour. One of the greatest barriers includes our ever-tightening housing market and a shortage of suitable rental accommodation. The Hiring & Workforce Housing Forum is a unique and outcome-focused approach to these intricately-related challenges.
 
Leading experts from across Canada will come together to tackle these topics. Attendees will take part in hands-on workshops, be inspired by the latest concepts and get results. This event will incorporate two streams of topics running simultaneously, essentially bringing together two forums under one roof. Vendors are invited to showcase their services and products at the marketplace.
 
The full-day forum is brought to you by the City of Penticton’s Economic Development department. Registration open now - early bird rates end August 4th. Agenda details available on the event website: www.hiringandhousingforum.com
