Imagine bringing together outstanding young Canadians whose talents, experiences and perspectives represent the mosaic of our country. Now imagine them connected by shared experiences in a national fellowship program that builds leadership for Canada.
Action Canada is about today's leaders nurturing the next generation of leadership in Canada. Each year we select up to 20 emerging leaders to become Action Canada Fellows. They are the top candidates from a nationwide call for applications.
Senior leadership skills development. Cross-country conferences. Public policy projects. Encounters with leading Canadians. Action Canada is all of this and more. With Canada as our classroom, we aim to enhance Fellows’ understanding of the country and public policy choices for the future.
Halifax 2014 Conference: Coming Home
I find a trip home is always a welcome break but for me this trip to Halifax would be different than most. Usually they are hurried weekends full of friends and family. This time I was in my hometown catching up with key leaders in the region as part of an Action Canada working conference.
Culturally enriching, purposeful and life changing.
