This year we are marking the 175th anniversary of a new talk way of talking about Canada and its future. In 1844, George Brown created a conversational forum for his bold nation building vision by launching the national media outlet that would become The Globe and Mail. This anniversary is an opportunity to renew his vision of a growing, independent, diverse, internationally connected Canada supported by strong public and private institutions.
The Globe and Mail, in partnership with McKinsey and CIGI, will host a two day forum to illuminate Canada’s strengths, risks and calls to action. The event will include perspectives and insight from some of the leading thinkers on Canada and our place in the world.
