John Groves

Program Officer, SLDA's Welcoming Communities Initiative

Hello, I'm John Groves,

As the Program Officer for the Labrador Straits Welcoming Communities Strategy, I'm focused on addressing the challenging demographics and labor issues in the region.

Since the beginning, I've been on the road, engaging with businesses and residents in southern Labrador. Guided by the SLDA team, I will discuss our challenges and objectives related to recruiting and retaining new residents and former Labradorians. It's crucial to have a strong presence in the area, and I will also highlight the advantages of joining the Southern Labrador Development Association.

In a short period, our business membership has tripled, with more individuals signing up every day. I look forward to meeting you and having conversations about any topics that interest you.

I am excited to work alongside a dedicated team to make a positive impact in the Labrador Straits community. Our focus on addressing demographic and labor challenges is crucial for the region's growth and prosperity.

Engaging with businesses and residents in southern Labrador has been an enlightening experience. By collaborating with the SLDA team, we are actively working towards our goals of attracting and retaining new residents and reconnecting with former Labradorians. Building a strong presence in the area is essential, and I am eager to showcase the benefits of becoming a part of the Southern Labrador Development Association.

The rapid growth in our business membership is a testament to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. I am always open to discussing a wide range of topics with you, so please feel free to reach out. Let's work together to create a vibrant and welcoming community in Labrador Straits region.
