Editor’s Note
What an exciting event it was to attend the Institute’s second Science Symposium. Getting to hear the panel of David Suzuki with Preston Manning was a unique experience. Stephen Lewis drew many to tears with his compelling stories. Most importantly, his message reminds us of how much misery is in the world and how fortunate we are to live in such a great country. This was truly an important event worthy of the Institute’s professional profile and vision.
