SYSTEMIC INNOVATIONS
MP FORUM
We are bringing together a select group of MPs from all parties to discuss a new vision and set of
ideas for improving the Canadian political environment around aid/development. By discussing
smart approaches to development, we hope to cultivate an atmosphere of dynamic learning.
Canada is known internationally as a leader in global development; we would like to see this legacy
strengthened in the years to come. During a period of global economic uncertainty, it’s ever more
important that Canada pursue the smartest, most efficient development policies, to ensure Canada
is maximizing its positive global influence. This forum will focus on some of the key challenges faced
in the sector and will draw from the on-the-ground experience of development experts and the
political/policy perspective of participating MPs.
We aspire to see the Canadian political environment around aid/development become the most
creative and engaged in the world. The goal of this forum is to accelerate political stewardship in
this regard.
GLOBAL ENGINEERING SYMPOSIUM
Global Engineering Symposium Presented by Engineers Canada and its Members
The symposium is an invitational forum within the conference where leaders from academia,
industry, and engineering professional associations converge to collaborate and discuss aspirations
in engineering education and practice for the 21st Century. Society is demanding a new generation
of engineers that embrace complexity, communicate effectively, and focus on their positive impact
on their communities and the world. Building on last year’s Global Engineering Symposium which
focused on defining Global Engineering, a key theme of this year’s discussion will be:
“What is the evolving role of the engineer in the 21st Century,
and how can engineers grow to fulfill it”
