Aerospace Industry - Positive News
 
The recent announcement by Air Canada that it had signed agreements with the province and federal government to fulfill their promise to develop a Western Canadian aircraft-maintenance centre of excellence in Winnipeg is certainly a positive outcome for this community.

Regaining some of the lost jobs and bringing forth new partners will continue to support our aerospace industry.

Information Insight Requested by Canadian Chamber of Commerce: Supporting our New Neighbours.
 
With the welcoming of 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada and because these news stories have touched the hearts of many Canadians and while the number of privately sponsored refugees is quite large; many of these refugees have ended up in smaller communities across Canada where private groups of all kinds have been their sponsors.
 
The Canadian chamber network has been active across the country, assisting within their communities to help settle and engage our newcomers. Now, the focus starts to turn to how refugees can find work and integration into the economy. John McCallum, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship has challenged business to help the refugees settle through employment and jobs.
 
We want to capture the level of involvement that businesses have had in the initial integration and support of newly-arrived Syrian Refugees.  So that we might gather some of this data, we would ask that you fill out this five to ten minute survey*, and show us how your company has helped in the effort.

 
Thank you! 
Canadian Chamber of Commerce
