Western Canada's Economy: What Can We Expect For The 2nd Half of 2021?

The ISCEBS Alberta Chapter is excited to present "Western Canada's Economy: What Can We Expect For The 2nd Half of 2021?" via Zoom on April 7th, 2021 at 9am MST. 

As we move through COVID, the economy is still weighted under a great deal of uncertainty. Still, we know that brighter days lie ahead. What can we expect from the economy as the vaccination process rolls out? And what does a 'new normal' look like in 2022 and beyond?
