Afternoon Program

11:00 AM Guest Registration Open
11:45 AM Opening Remarks
12:00 PM Session 1 Collective Action for Healthier Futures
Panel Discussion
The most urgent health and well-being issues facing Canadians are also the most complex and have serious impacts on our economy.
Solutions require integrating multiple levers of change and mobilizing multiple sectors to take collective action.

1:00 PM Session 2 How Equity Makes Us All Stronger
Panel Discussion
The most urgent issues facing Canadians disproportionately affect people who face systemic barriers related to gender, race, identity, orientation and ability.
This impedes our prosperity as a nation, in business and as individuals. Closing the equity gap requires intentional and coordinated action from all sectors
and is an essential component of driving real and measurable change.

2:30 PM In Discussion with John Ruffolo
Fireside Chat with Joan Dea, Chair of the Board
3:45 PM Session 3 Changing the Game: Futures Imperatives
Live Expert Talks
Two imperatives - GenAI and resourcing - have the power to supercharge social impact and have the power to substantially redirect its course.
Tony Gaffney, Roxana Sultan and Mide Akerewusi will share their insights about how we can change the game through these imperatives,
and what is most important to consider when we leverage these tools in the quest to effect massive change.
