Ms. I-licks advised in the last couple of months the organization has collaborated with New Brunswick Community College (NBCC), the University of New Brunswick (UNBSJ), and the Saint John Learning Exchange to determine existing gaps and noted workforce training will encompass avariety of industries.

Ms. Hicks thanked the Deputy Mayor for the edit. Mayor Grant raised the following comments/questions: > Lack of acknowledgement in the Strategic Plan of other regional municipalities as they are supporting and value-added elements to Saint John o Example of aproposed revision: “The City of Saint John is the thriving core with astrong cluster of employment and culture in the heart of our region and the surrounding municipalities are thriving centres of residential, small business, cind recreational opportunity. Itwas understood Discover Saint John and other agencies were to be integrated to create Envision Saint John, yet ads from Discover Saint John remain active on social media o This runs the risk of duplication for tourism services > Will the recently announced partnership with Fredericton’s Planet Hatch require a financial contribution? Section 5.8 of the Members Agreement requires “the Agency to provide to each Member: (a) on aquarterly basis within 30 days of the end of each fiscal quarter, unaudited financial statements for the period along with areport on performance of the Agency against the KPIs during such period” —itis understood KPIs are unavailable at this time —but no financial statements were provided to councils. Ms. Hicks responded with the following: > All previous agencies were integrated into Envision Saint John, however the brand of Discover Saint John was kept because of its value to tourism services Confirmation that there is no financial arrangement with Planet Hatch o The partnership is intended to help Envision Saint John align and create mutually beneficial opportunities on aprovincial scale > Quarterly financial statements are reviewed by the Agency Board, and the respective CAOs of each municipality. Counc. Brown asked about target areas for employment. Ms. Hicks advised details will be defined in the next phase as the Strategic Plan is finalized, shared, and a business plan is developed. Transformational sectors of opportunity include: CP returning to New Brunswick, and UNBSJ (digital health). Tourism was negatively impacted but New Brunswick has become desirable overnight —asilver lining from the pandemic —therefore astrong rebound is predicted. She added some priority sectors are emerging while other sectors are maturing, including: energy, and forestry. She added work in the seasoned sectors will revolve around the talent pipeline —attracting new residents to fill positions. She concluded by noting an interest in an overall alignment across Atlantic Canada. Mayor Grant thanked Ms. Hicks for her presentation. Ms. I-licks thanked Council and left the videoconference. 5.
