Thanks for the invite, Minister @PonJosephine and I am honored to participate on behalf of @YYCNewcomers and look forward to connecting further with everyone at the table to support older workers!
As seniors week festivities continue, I was pleased to host a roundtable about Older workers in collaboration with community and social services as well as labour and immigration. We discussed issues and barriers organizations and businesses face when supporting older workers.
