BC's Innovation Economy - Can we Train, Retain and Attract the Best & Brightest?

Season 4 · Episode 2

Thursday, October 23, 2025 • Duration 01:15:27

With British Columbia’s economy on a slow downward trajectory, one question stands out:

Can the innovation economy boost the province’s performance?

The answer might be yes if we can train, retain, and attract the best and brightest minds. But that’s no easy task in a world competing fiercely for talent.

Recent U.S. policy changes, including a $100,000 H-1B visa fee, could give BC an unexpected advantage. But can our strengths outweigh our challenges?

Join Stuart McNish and an exceptional panel of leaders as they unpack what it will take for BC to lead in innovation and talent attraction:

Investing in BC in Partnership with First Nations

Season 4 · Episode 1

Thursday, October 23, 2025 • Duration 01:01:19

Canada and BC are introducing legislation to fast-track major projects in energy, mining, forestry, and infrastructure. On the surface, it signals that investment is welcome in our nation again.

But here’s the reality: without meaningful consultation and partnership with First Nations, these projects risk delays or outright failure.

That’s why projects developed with Indigenous communities move faster, gain approvals more smoothly, and succeed more often.

Join Stuart McNish for the season premiere of Conversations Live as he speaks with a remarkable panel of leaders about how Indigenous partnerships are reshaping Canada’s development landscape:

Crystal Smith - Former Chief Councillor, Haisla Nation
Mark Magnacca - Co-Chair, Canadian Indigenous Investment Summit
JP Gladu - Principal, Mokwateh
Glen Clark - Chair, BC Hydro
Dallas Smith - President, Nanwakolas Council
Mike McPhee - Executive Chairman, Falkirk Consulting Ltd.
