Fellows’ Policy Perspectives
Communicating relevant, timely opinions and ideas to the general public is an important skill for leaders interested in implementing or changing public policy. That’s why Action Canada works closely with Fellows to enhance their skills in writing op-ed pieces worthy of publication in national newspapers and magazines.
In each fellowship year since 2005, we have asked eminent Canadian journalists and editors to work with Fellows on their commentary writing skills. Over the years, Fellows have benefited from the expertise of journalists Jeffrey Simpson, Roy MacGregor, Stephen Hume, Andrew Cohen, John Fraser, Jacquie McNish, Alain Dubuc and writing mentors Mark Winston, Antonia Maioni and Bob Foulkes.
As a result, Fellows’ op-eds on significant Canadian issues have been published in major Canadian newspapers and magazines including The Globe and Mail, La Presse, Calgary Herald, Toronto Star and Corporate Knights.
