Transcontinental Town Hall: Northern development in Australia and Canada
The School of Public Policy, in partnership with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) is delighted to invite you to the special event: ‘Transcontinental Town Hall: Northern development in Australia and Canada’.
Lack of infrastructure, weather extremes, population density, and geopolitical strategic significance are similar characteristics shared by the northern regions of our two countries. A vast store of expertise and knowledge could and should be shared to contribute to securing a safe and prosperous future for both the Australian and Canadian north. Our speakers will provide a comprehensive overview of the similarities in the policy challenges facing both northern Australia and Canada.
This event will feature a keynote address from His Excellency Mr. Scott Ryan, Australia’s High Commissioner to Canada, and His Excellency Mr. Mark Glauser, Canada’s High Commissioner to Australia, followed by several brief mini-lectures presented by subject matter experts from both Australia and Canada, and a panel discussion moderated by Canadian Senator Vernon White.
Please join us virtually for this truly transcontinental discussion.
This virtual presentation will take place using livestorm. The registration link will direct you to our partner’s website to register.
