The Gig Economy: Making It Work for Businesses and Workers Alike

Date(s) - 6 Oct 2022 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM The Intergovernmental Committee for Economic and Labour Force Development (ICE) partnered with the City of Toronto (Enterprise Toronto) to host a free webinar about the highs and lows of the gig economy and what policy changes could be made to protect gig workers while providing the flexibility businesses need to succeed.
