SUMMARY:Immigration Isn’t Charity\, It’s Strategy: The Economic Case fo
 r Newcomers in Alberta
DESCRIPTION:Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History\n\nWhat if one of Alberta's gre
 atest economic assets isn't oil\, technology\, or capital\, but talent?\nAs
  Alberta grapples with labour shortages\, an aging population\, housing pre
 ssures\, and growing competition for skilled workers\, immigration remains 
 one of the province's most debated issues. But are we asking the right ques
 tions?\n\nAt Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History this October\, CEO of the Cent
 re for Newcomers Nketti Johnston-Taylor challenges conventional thinking an
 d makes the case that immigration is not primarily a social policy issue. I
 t is an economic strategy. Drawing on evidence from business\, government\,
  and economic research\, she explores how newcomers drive growth\, innovati
 on\, entrepreneurship\, and workforce sustainability\, while highlighting A
 lberta's greatest untapped opportunity: better utilizing the talent already
  here.\n\nhttps://www.visitcalgary.com/events/immigration-isnt-charity-its-
