At the Second Annual AMCC Maintenance Symposium, held November 24 in Calgary, AMCC announced the creation of the Executive Advisory Council. The Council creation responds to the clear industry needs for shared systems, structured collaboration, and aligned decision-making to meet growing workforce demands and strengthen long-term competitiveness.

The Council will be composed of senior leaders from owners, contractors, unions, government, and training organizations, enabling a full view of the system and the ability to address challenges no single group can solve alone.

Since releasing the discussion paper, the question has shifted from what needs to change to how to change. The Executive Advisory Council will support translating recommendations into practical tools that support collaboration across sites and regions.

Mandate of the Council
• Provide strategic guidance on priorities in One Industry. One Workforce. One Future.
• Identify systemic barriers to workforce mobility, efficiency, safety, and training alignment
• Support practical, collaborative solutions that improve productivity and execution
• Strengthen a unified national voice for modernization and workforce development

The Council will also support AMCC’s growing engagement with governments and key decision-makers, ensuring policies, training systems, and workforce programs align more closely with on-the-ground realities.

Next Steps
The Executive Advisory Council will convene in early 2026, marking the start of its work to build the processes and partnerships needed for safer sites, stronger workforce deployment, and improved industry performance.
