Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, North Bay - Thunder Bay, Timmins Consortium
Northern Ontario
I’m the Manufacturing Consortium Manager for Northern Ontario, where I coordinate and deliver programs that support the competitiveness and growth of Canadian manufacturers. In my role, I connect industry leaders, facilitate best-practice sharing, and help members turn strategy into actionable improvements.
I’m passionate about helping manufacturers strengthen their operations and workforce resilience. For me, the most rewarding part of this work is seeing members use EMC’s network and resources to innovate, grow, and thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape.
Please connect with me, anytime, to discuss anything manufacturing!

BDC / EMC Economic Outlook for Manufacturers

Jean-Pierre (JP) Giroux, President of EMC, will provide an overview on the Issues Affecting EMC’s manufacturing network and the solutions and resources EMC is bringing to help.
Practical Self Care Strategies
Resilience and self care are often talked about in the workplace but rarely defined in clear, practical terms. This session shifts the focus away from jargon and into real-life strategies that help individuals care for their own mental health. Participants will explore what wellness, resilience and self care really are (and what they’re not!) in order to create a more grounded, personal understanding of these concepts.
