FALL/WINTER 2023 – EDITORIAL THEME: NAVIGATING EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE
Northern manufacturing & beyond: ground, air, everywhere – Manufacturers working in the northern communities of the Prairies, the Territories, and beyond are producing and buying the goods that keep our world moving. From food to aircraft, from metal goods to textiles and fine art, it’s all taking place over the horizon.
Insurance & Risk Management – How has the definition of ‘risk’ changed over the past few years? Can we really insure against any risk in our business or is there stuff insurers simply won’t touch? And what are the things we might not be insuring but probably should be?

Health and wellness products – Supplements, vitamins, pharmaceutical products, and fitness and health gear are keeping folks hale and healthy across the region. Meet the makers behind these innovative products and learn how they’re improving lives at home and abroad.
Safety: within and beyond the workplace – Safety is more than just the absence of physical harm, it’s a mindset, a practice that takes effort, and a lens through which we need to view all aspects of work and life. We’ll explore safety in terms of mental, cultural, physical, and personal safety, including suicide, opioids, racism, and safe working.

The Power of Association – Who’s who in the realm of associations and industry clusters, and what impact do these groups have in connection and community among manufacturers? Do you need to be a member of an association or cluster? And what should you be asking if considering joining?
Progression or regression? Equity, diversity, inclusion in manufacturing – From the calls of #metoo, to the hard-fought wins for women’s pay equity, and the need for the workforce to represent the greater population, where are we today in terms of progress? What remains to be done? And are things truly improving, or are the offenders and vocal minority just taking things underground?
