Canada has the buildings, expertise, and urgent need to scale retrofits — but do we have the workforce ready to deliver?
As governments and industry accelerate investment in building electrification and retrofit programs, workforce readiness has become one of the biggest challenges facing Canada’s building transition.
Join leaders from Toronto 2030 District and BOMA Canada for a national conversation on the talent, training, and practical know-how required to support a large-scale retrofit economy.
This webinar will explore:
1. Lessons from successful heat pump and building retrofit training initiatives
2. Role of unions and skilled trades organizations
3. Barriers facing building owners and property managers
4. Workforce gaps across the retrofit ecosystem
5. How Canada can build the labour capacity needed to support a national retrofit buildout
