The 2024 Better Canada Youth Forum
The Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa is committed to building a better Canada, and is the research partner for the Coalition for a Better Future. On March 18, Telfer with AIESEC Canada will convene a national youth dialogue in conjunction with the imminent launch of the Coalition’s latest Scorecard on Canada's Progress. This second annual Better Canada Youth Forum will connect business leaders with post-secondary student leaders from across Canada (25+ universities and other institutes) to discuss how to continue building a better Canada and a better future.
Discussions will evaluate key metrics that determine Canada’s success and how youth can shape their own future and build a better Canada. Dialogue will centre on six themes and three central goals: winning globally, living better, and growing sustainably.
This event is part of the Coalition for a Better Future’s Campus Tour program.
