His keynote will put the spotlight on the significant infrastructure deficit confronting Inuit and Indigenous communities more broadly across Canada (estimated at $30 billion to $40 billion) and the immediate need for innovative new approaches to enable these communities, governments and the private sector to work together to address this gap. Natan’s remarks will outline his vision for how we can significantly move forward together on these pressing issues.

Billions are flowing into infrastructure projects across Canada, with multiple mega projects in transit, energy and transportation coming to market at the same time. Demand — and competition — has perhaps never been greater for skilled trades, everyone from boilermakers to carpenters, which can impact project risks. How dire is the situation? And what are industry and the public sector doing to step up and manage this demand while helping create the skilled workers of tomorrow?
Moderator: Mandy Rennehan, Member of the federal advisory committee to help promote apprenticeships and skilled trades across Canada; Blue-Collar CEO & Founder, Freshco.ca.

The need to bring reliable and affordable high-speed internet service to all Canadians, including urban, rural and Indigenous communities, is a high-priority infrastructure issue for governments across the country. Having access to this must-have service means communities can boost their economic capabilities, take part in the knowledge economy and attract new residents and talent from around the world. Not having it risks leaving us behind. How can industry and government work together to quickly deploy this technology to revolutionize the way we work, live, communicate and travel?

Kathleen Savio, CEO, Zurich North America
In the insurance world, the spectre of climate change is increasingly present. The proof, after all, is in the data. When it comes to assessing risk, the warming of our planet Earth has significant implications for how we build and maintain public infrastructure for decades to come. It might just be the biggest risk we’ve ever faced. As one of the world’s leading insurers, Zurich has seen first-hand the devastation natural disasters inflict on people, businesses and communities. That’s why they’ve developed practices and policies that are driving changes in how people and companies behave to manage and reduce climate risks. Zurich North America CEO Kathleen Savio will give an address on what this means for the insurability of at-risk populations. She’ll discuss what we can do now to make projects more resilient to damage caused by more frequent and violent storms, as well as the role that public-private partnerships play in driving Zurich’s climate strategy.
