Speaker: Catherine Sas, K.C.
Sas and Ing Immigration Law Centre — Founding Partner
Immigration is always in the news. Should our immigration levels be lowered? Should they be raised? One day we’re told there are too many immigrants; the next day businesses tell us there aren’t enough. Given Canada’s current demographic projections, how many immigrants do we need?
Seasoned immigration lawyer Catherine A. Sas K.C. will meet with us to engage in a thought-provoking dialogue to try and make sense of the current immigration landscape.
Speaker: Thomas Isaac,
former treaty negotiator,
Partner, Aboriginal Law, Cassels
Speaker: Kevin Valelly, Architect and Explorer,
Fellow of the National Geographic Society, Author

Kevin will share his learnings about life, leadership and success
