Join friends and fellow alumni for an evening of spirited discussion and intellectual engagement at The Great Canadian Debate, a dynamic event exploring the motion: “The future of Canadian business lies in collaboration, not competition.”
Moderated by University of Toronto Chancellor Wes Hall, this Oxford-style debate features two teams led by distinguished speakers, each joined by a U of T student debater. Expect a lively exchange of ideas, audience participation and a chance to vote on the motion before and after the debate.
This event is a fundraiser for The Dr. Jean Augustine Professorship in Transformative Education at Victoria University. The professorship will allow Victoria University to appoint a leading scholar to look at new ways of fostering critical thinking, problem solving and innovation — skills that students need to succeed in today’s workforce.
Don’t miss this opportunity to support a meaningful cause while engaging with some of Canada’s brightest minds.
