What We Do

The Labour Market Group is one of 21 boards across Ontario that is a not-for-profit, community based organization. The Board consists of volunteers who represent a variety of labour market sectors including Business, Labour, Education, Marginalized Workers, and three levels of government.

Annually, the Board engages the communities of Nipissing and Parry Sound in a labour market planning process that results in a labour force Trends, Opportunities and Priorities (TOP) report. The Board then works collaboratively with community agencies to develop solutions to these priorities by addressing local labour market needs.

The TOP report consolidates a considerable volume of information so that community planning can be undertaken with the full knowledge of the most recent workforce trends in the catchment area. Thus the TOP report serves as a strategic tool for the purpose of building community partnerships. The Board, its staff and community stakeholders employ the TOP report as a key source of labour market information and a long term community action plan for labour force development.

The Labour Market Group area encompasses the City of North Bay, as well as several smaller, diverse towns and villages including: Parry Sound, Burk's Falls, Sundridge, South River, Callander, Mattawa, Powassan, West Nipissing and Temagami.
