Saugeen Shores has a study to help officials understand the labour market challenges in the community.
It's called "Getting to Work". The project was in partnership with the University of Guelph, Bruce Power, and Mitacs , a nonprofit national research organization.
In the opening summary of 20-page report, it lists Saugeen Shores as an attractive place to live and work which includes growth in the nuclear energy sector and associated businesses. And that can lead to social opportunities such as recreation and services as well as strong local investments.
Challenges include uneven economic growth when it comes to affordability and how to acknowledge, integrate, and address the needs of different stakeholders.
Saugeen Shores Mayor, Luke Charbonneau, says they are fortunate to have partners working together to conduct research and collect data.
The report was authored by Ph.D. candidate Ashleigh Weeden.
