The Vancouver Economic Commission (VEC) is launching a cross-country tour of Canada, hoping to entice tech workers from Toronto, Calgary, and London, Ont. to pull up roots and move to British Columbia’s largest city.
Home to large startups-turned-powerhouses like HootSuite, Vancouver has had its fair share of entrants to the tech scene in the past few years. As part of its efforts to further boost the industry, the VEC has decided to try to attract more skilled workers to its city by setting up a job fair. The fair is attached to the HTML500, an event that teaches people to code.
