OTTAWA, MARCH 6, 2023 — Now in its second year, the Coalition for a Better Future is releasing its 2023 Scorecard Report, its first full year of data  derived from 21 internationally-recognized metrics tracking Canada’s economic, environmental and social progress on a global scale. 

Media are invited to this important Scorecard Reporting Event, taking place in person at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa on March 7 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In addition to the release of the report, the event features a fireside chat between Coalition co-chairs, Hon. Anne McLellan and Hon. Lisa Raitt, moderated by former senior deputy Bank of Canada governor Carolyn Wilkins

Breakout workshops will also take place to dive deeper into the report’s findings under the three themes of Winning Globally, Living Better and Growing Sustainably. Among others, these workshop sessions feature discussions with:

  • Goldy Hyder, President & CEO, Business Council of Canada

  • Andrew Chunilall, CEO, Community Foundations of Canada

  • Jesse McCormick, SVP, First Nations Major Projects Coalition

  • Shamira Madhany, Managing DIrector, World Education Services

  • Brigitte Nolet, President & CEO, Roche Canada Pharma

  • Kathy Abusow, President & CEO, Sustainable Forestry Initiative

Nik Nanos, Chief Data Scientist and Founder of the Nanos Research Group of Companies, will also discuss new data around Canadians’ attitudes toward the urgent need for economic growth.

The Coalition for a Better Future is dedicated to strengthening the Canadian economy as the country emerges from the pandemic. The Coalition represents a diverse and growing community of 142 like-minded organizations from the private and not-for-profit sectors that recognize the need for an ambitious long-term economic plan that is inclusive and sustainable to ensure a better future for all Canadians.

The Coalition believes that aspiring to meet the scorecard’s ambitious 2030 targets will lead to the improvement of the lives of Canadians, and that the economy should not be a partisan issue.
