Atlantic Canada’s Future: A Conversation with AEC’s David Chaundy

On this week's Insights podcast, Don and David talk with David Chaundy, President and CEO of the Atlantic Economic Council. The Council was established back in 1954 to provide research and support to economic development efforts across the region. Chaundy has been running the organization since 2018 and is passionate about its role helping the region address its biggest challenges and opportunities. We discuss everything from growth industries to demographics and the importance of regional cooperation. At times sobering (e.g. when Chaundy rattles off statistics about our health care and education systems) and inspiring (e.g. when he makes the case for a long-term vision), you will enjoy the conversation.
