Economic Recovery Series: Transforming our Region
Prior to the arrival of COVID-19, Greater Vancouver was one of the fastest growing regions in North America. And despite the interruption of the global pandemic, significant investments will allow the region to unlock its untapped potential and continue to see an upwards trajectory.
As we deal with the challenges of today it’s vital that we don’t lose sight of tomorrow, as well as the investment that will need to be made to stimulate economic activity and guide our region into the future.
Transforming our region
In the latest installment of our Economic Recovery Series, the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade is bringing together a panel of experts to discuss how the disruptions caused by COVID-19 could help address deep-rooted economic and societal issues in our region.
Tackling everything from infrastructure and investment to housing affordability and connectivity, panellists will talk in depth about the role that the pandemic can play in transforming our region and what it means for the Greater Vancouver business community.

Steven Hunt, P.Eng, P.E., CEO, Carlson Construction Group Inc.
