How do we retain talent in KW?
#1
Downtown BIA commits $300K to Queen Street upgrades

I found the following comment by Communitech’s CEO, Iain Klugman, interesting:


Quote:However Klugman said the biggest challenge for local tech companies at the current time is talent retention and that there needs to be a focus on the non tech-related elements of building a great community. He believes we’ll continue to see further arts and culture investments from the private sector.

So, how do we retain talent in KW?  I don't know what their needs are but I would guess that quick and easy access to Toronto would be a plus.  Also an airport with more destinations.  Some years ago I read that some of the better paid people were complaining that there aren't enough "high end" properties for sale.  I don't know if that's still an issue for some but many of the new condo developments could address that issue.  A good theatre company and a convention centre would also help.  What else??
