“Public Policy Forum is pleased to host “A Growing Opportunity: Atlantic Bubble to Atlantic Boom” a public dialogue in partnership with the UNB Shaping the Debate. Atlantic Canada is experiencing a moment of growth with population at an all-time high and unemployment continuing to hit historic lows. But there is more to do. The region needs to close the productivity gap by embracing technology and raising up all Atlantic Canadians. This half-day dialogue will address important topics around building a sustainable, technological and science enabled economy that will help close the gap in living standards and economic growth. It will unpack key areas that are being explored by PPF’s Atlantic Initiative.
