Road to Economic Recovery - October 20, 2010

PD Description:  With key-note speaker Jeff Hart, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and former President of AGA (Association of Government Accountants), we discovered how recent environmental disasters have both negatively and positively impacted local economics.  Looking at a broader context, Aron Gampel, Deputy Chief Economist at the Bank of Nova Scotia discussed what we can expect over the next few years in terms of the global economic outlook.  The day was rounded out with a discussion about the public sector’s role in Canada’s recovery from the global economic slump, as well as participation in a challenging case-study.
