November 20, 2015 - Business and Education Investment Dialogue
Event Sponsors
If we determine that education truly is an investment that benefits the economy, what should our priorities be? What return on investment are we currently receiving in Surrey?
Surrey is recognized as the fastest growing city on the west coast and will be the largest city within a decade. Much of the growth is reflected in a younger population than nearby cities and the potential of development of businesses, manufacturers and industry. A thriving city needs a thriving economy, and that takes investment in a variety of inputs, including an educated workforce.
Business, manufacturing and academic leaders join together to discuss why investing in Surrey is necessary and to consider potential solutions.
Facilitated by: Jonathan Driver, Provost, Simon Fraser University
Panel Speakers:
- Dr. Jane Fee, Vice-Provost, Students, Kwantlen Polytechnic University
- Ben Hume, President, Sheppards Building Materials Inc.
