The end of summer means the beginning of a new events season for The Walrus Talks at Home. These virtual events feature thought leaders and industry experts offering different perspectives on matters vital to Canadians.

On Monday, September 13, find out where the circular economy is headed when four young professionals take to the virtual stage for The Walrus Talks at Home: The Next Gen on the Circular Economy to talk about how we can make individual and systemic changes today to create a more sustainable tomorrow.

Three days later, on September 16, is The Walrus Leadership Forum: The Great Skills Shift, moderated by Madeleine Redfern. First, John Stackhouse will present the findings of RBC’s Building Bandwidth report, on the digital challenges Indigenous youth face today. Then we’ll have a panel discussion on how to ensure the next generation of Indigenous professionals has the skills needed for success.

And then, on September 23, live on Facebook, The Walrus Talks at Home: News & Platforms will present a panel discussion about how news organizations are prioritizing innovation and impact, as well as their hopes for the shifting landscape of Canadian news.

Register for The Walrus Talks at Home and join the Canadian conversation (from the comfort of your living room).
