The City of Toronto is developing a new Action Plan for Toronto’s Economy to guide economic development policies, programming and decision making for the next 10 years. The previous plan Collaborating for Competitiveness: The City of Toronto’s Plan to Accelerate Job Creation and Economic Growth was launched a decade ago and will be succeeded by the new Action Plan for Toronto’s Economy which will be presented to City Council in mid-2024.
A New Action Plan for Toronto’s Economy will set a vision for Toronto’s economy and propose actions that the City and it’s partners can take to maintain and enhance Toronto’s competitiveness while supporting more inclusive and sustainable opportunities and investments in communities across Toronto.
To support the development of the Action Plan for Toronto’s Economy an Economic Advisory Panel will provide input and subject matter expertise to inform the plan.

Earlier this summer, the JA Worldwide Board of Governors approved two new board members. We sat down with global thought leader and former CHRO of Royal Bank of Canada Zabeen Hirji to find out more about her and to discuss why she has chosen JA Worldwide from among all the organizations she could support.
Zabeen is a strategic advisor to both the private and public sectors, a thought leader in Future of Work, leadership, culture, purpose, skills-based economy, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Her senior leadership experience enables her to bring a practical perspective to her advisory work and as a speaker, writer, and media commentator. Now in her Purposeful Third Act, she is dedicated to creating impact by activating her purpose: “to unlock the potential of people and build inclusive prosperity.”
