A number of organizations are represented on that task force, with members of Council and the City recently added. And with the last of the players in place, Giddens says it’s time to get to work.

“We’re looking to set the first meeting at the end of this month,” he says. “Really those partners will have the ability to feed into the draft terms of reference that we out now. And we want to have this as a continuous emphasis this year to really get some momentum on economic recovery in 2021 and let’s put the pandemic behind us.”

The Task Force will remain in place for the duration of the pandemic.
