Canada at 150: Rising to the Challenge

What can and should Canada be in 2017 when we celebrate the country’s 150th birthday? And what needs to be done today and tomorrow to get there?

Canada at 150: Rising to the Challenge will confront these fundamental questions by starting a national dialogue.  From March 26-28 in Montreal, leading thinkers and doers from across Canada and around the world will grapple with the big issues facing Canada.
