The ACSESS Spring calendar included several key events, including our Annual General Meeting, the National Conference in Montreal, QC a regional event hosted by the Calgary chapter and Staffing for Canada Week 2025. I am pleased to introduce the ACSESS 2025-26 National Board of Directors. Earlier this month, our association members celebrated June 1-7 Staffing for Canada Week to recognize the industry’s more than 500,000 employees and the two million job seekers they place each year. Our offices issued press releases in recognition of this important week. We also announced the winners of our Exceptional Experiences essay contest.
ACSESS 2025 conference was a success bringing together staffing and recruiting leaders in Montreal, QC for the industry’s most comprehensive learning and networking event. A special thank you to all conference sponsors and business partners. Being the only national event dedicated to the Canadian staffing services industry, the ACSESS conference offers unparalleled opportunities to meet and network with senior executives and professional recruiters across North America. We were also happy to recognize our ACSESS 2025 Staffing Industry Award winners.
SAVE THE DATE! ACSESS is excited to announce our 2026 International conference at Sheraton Centre Toronto May 13-14. We’re teaming up with World Employment Confederation to bring over 500 industry professionals together with unparalleled opportunities to meet and network with senior executives and professional recruiters globally.
We are eager to deliver our Fall regional sessions in all provinces with a wide range of topics including legal and government policy updates. Stay tuned for more details as we work to represent our members interests and offer educational opportunities on a national scale.
ACSESS continues to assume a leadership role in ensuring that industry members are aware of legislative and regulatory changes on a national scale which if implemented may affect their businesses. Our national committee and sub committees continue to actively monitor legislative developments in all provinces on a wide range of industry specific policy issues.
We will also continue our outreach to all provincial premiers to promote the value of the staffing services and recruitment industries in Canada and our members’ contributions to the economy.
Wishing you all a safe and happy summer and thank you all for your continued support and demonstrated leadership.
Mary McIninch
Executive Director, Government Relations/Directrice Générale
