Job vacancies reached more than one million in April, up 2.4 percent from March and up 44.4 percent from a year earlier, Statistics Canada reported. Businesses don’t see any sign of the situation abating. According to the Bank of Canada’s most recent Business Outlook Survey, the share of firms reporting labour constraints remained at a near-record high in the second quarter of 2022. Many businesses reported plans to raise wages to attract and retain workers.

To encourage businesses to invest in skills development, Quebec has taken its own unique approach. Since the early 2000s, small- and medium-sized companies, often working in the same sector, have had the option to pool their resources to deliver skills development options to their employees. The concept, known as “training mutuals,” could hold lessons for other Canadian provinces and territories.

“In the last year or so, we have seen $15 billion of private investment in the province,” said Saskatchewan’s new Highway Minister Jeremy Cockrill, who came to the cabinet post in June. The influx of new investments includes the largest potash mine development in the world and new forest industry manufacturing facilities and ventures.  

“We know there is going to be more traffic on the highways and there is going to be heavier truck traffic,” he said, as the province looks to upgrade and improve its highway structure. “We know we have to make that investment of government to accommodate new industry.”

Halifax Water is showing residents just how harmful so-called flushable wipes can be to the wastewater system.

A photo from the utility shows a mass of rags and wipes clogging the Duffus Street pump station, shortly after crews had attempted to do emergency repairs by putting in a new pump.

It all began July 19, when Halifax Water said a pump failure had led to screened — but untreated — wastewater to be released into Halifax Harbour.

That prompted the utility to warn people not to swim in the harbour.

Vous souvenez-vous de l’année 2007?

La troisième saga des films Spiderman et Shrek rapportait le plus de recettes. Apple a sorti le tout premier iPhone. Et en novembre, les Roughriders de la Saskatchewan, dirigés par le quart-arrière Kerry Joseph, ont remporté leur troisième coupe Grey à Toronto avec une victoire contre les Blue Bombers de Winnipeg.

Mais une étape particulièrement importante dans le monde de la sécurité publique a également été franchie cette année-là : le Saskatchewan Common Ground Alliance (SCGA) a été créé.

Le président sortant du CCGA, Mike Sullivan, s’est récemment assis avec Doug Lapp, l’actuel président du comité exécutif du Canadian Common Ground Alliance, pour discuter de la conférence d’octobre. Ils ont enregistré 26 balados concernant la sécurité. Ces balados portent désormais le nom The Safety Moment Podcast.

Voici un bref extrait de leur conversation.

Le CCGA a été créé il y a un peu plus de dix ans et est composé de partenaires régionaux de chaque province, de la Colombie-Britannique aux provinces de l’Atlantique.
