TIAO was delighted to welcome Minister Monte McNaughton, Ontario’s Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development, at the OTEC offices. Minister McNaughton participated in a stakeholder roundtable to hear directly from a panel of Ontarians in the Tourism and Hospitality sector who shared their personal stories of how the pandemic has affected their jobs and businesses, as well as insights into the issues that need to be addressed to prepare the future workforce.
We appreciate and thank Minister Monte McNaughton for taking the time to listen to the challenges and concerns that our industry has faced throughout the pandemic, and continue to do so. We also thank our valued partners at Ontario Tourism Education Corporation (OTEC) for helping make this possible.
