"Everyone-employers, employees and governments-has a role to play when it comes to promoting inclusive, safe and healthy workplaces."
Canada 2020's Skilled Trades in the Energy Sector conference provided an opportunity for industry executives, government representatives, labour unions, and educational institutions to discuss solutions to the skills and labour shortages facing Canada's energy sector.
