COVID-19 will be remembered as a pivotal moment in our city’s history. It has impacted, and will continue to impact every dimension of our lives from this day forward. We still have a long way to go, but we believe the future of our community is going to be far more dependent on collaboration and sharing than ever before. Our city’s experience economy - including hospitality, tourism, arts, culture, entertainment, sports & recreation, wellness and retail - is central to our province’s recovery. To help, the Growth Compass will host weekly BounceBack YYC Forums. These forums are one-hour virtual gatherings with leaders from across Calgary’s experience economy. These forums will offer insights and a platform to discuss the role that the experience economy can play in leading Calgary’s bounce back from COVID-19.

In today’s forum:

Mathew Stone (Co-Founder, Stone-Olafson), Kim Griffin (Project Director, Stone-Olafson) and Dr. David J. Finch (Co-chair ActiveCITY Collective) discuss the Alberta experience economy research initiative and how it can be leveraged to support the re-opening of the experience economy.
