In this series we are joined by leaders and community members to hear their perspectives on three big questions; when it comes to the economy, what do you want to see built back better rather than just going back to normal? Post-COVID, what do you think is going to remain a permanent societal or cultural change? And what are you most optimistic about for the future?

Finale

Big questions about life after the pandemic need big answers. Todd Hirsch, ATB Financial’s chief economist and Rob Roach, deputy chief economist, hear from influential people across Alberta and beyond about their thoughts on what can be built back better post-pandemic, what permanent changes we will see to our lives, and what you can be optimistic about for the future. 

From the demise of physical currency, to equitable participation in the economy and the opportunity to harness social media to reduce divisiveness - the ideas shared in this episode will help you formulate your own answers to these questions.
