On March 26 to 28, 2010, some of Canada’s leading progressive thinkers and doers will gather in Montreal for a non-partisan conference entitled Canada at 150: Rising to the Challenge. They will be part of a national conversation about the Canada we want to be in 2017, when we celebrate our 150th birthday, and the steps we can take today and tomorrow to get there.
That conversation starts with you.
Over the next few months Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff will be holding town-hall meetings, web forums and small gatherings to hear from Canadians first-hand. Your ideas, hopes, concerns and priorities will feed the discussion in Montreal. We’re starting off by visiting university and college campuses across the country—because a conversation about Canada’s future starts with the generation of Canadians that will shape it more than any other.
