Ep. 030: Let British Columbia be the Education Province
Guest: Andrew Petter, Simon Fraser University
BC has the opportunity to become the go to place for post secondary education in Canada.
That is what Andrew Petter, the President of Simon Fraser University, believes.
Petter says, over the next few years, “BC will become the education province; it’s already becoming the place where if you have an idea to grow a company or you need talented people in order to succeed this is the go to place.” He goes on to say we need to invest more in education so that BC can realize its full economic potential.
