Canada’s Creators are Redefining the Arts

Join us for The Walrus Talks at Home: Arts and Culture Right Now, an event that brings together young Canadian artists and cultural leaders who are shaping the future of arts, activism, and digital innovation. Four speakers will discuss how creativity can promote civic engagement, merge politics with art, and leverage technology for change.

Join us in a conversation to witness firsthand how Canada’s creators are not just participating in the arts and culture scene, but are actively redefining it with their bold visions and innovative approaches.

From coast to coast to coast, Canada is home to some of the world’s most incredible and well-known natural landscapes. And while numerous studies have proven the tangible benefits that being outdoors in nature can have for one’s health, Canadians need to be able to access the many trails, parks, mountains, and coastlines across this great nation to enjoy them.

At Manulife Presents The Walrus Talks Nature, supported by Trans Canada Trail, leaders will come together to discuss the value of access to nature, including the trails that act as a gateway to Canada’s diverse landscapes.

Join us, in Toronto or online, to discover the joys of nature and how we can access all it has to offer.
