TONIGHT! Join us at the National Gallery of Canada or online for The Walrus Talks Global Hunger Crisis.
We asked Event Manager Emma Mackenzie Hillier why she's looking forward to this special event.
|
|
|
"The Walrus Talks Global Hunger Crisis is an opportunity to learn about how we can better protect people who are vulnerable to food insecurity in Canada and around the world. I’m especially looking forward to hearing about the current state of international development, which was already grappling with the impact of the climate crisis before COVID-19 disrupted supply chains the world over. I hope you’ll join us for an engaging and interesting evening!"
