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.

Two imperatives - GenAI and resourcing - have the power to supercharge social impact and have the power to substantially redirect its course.

and what is most important to consider when we leverage these tools in the quest to effect massive change.
