Remembering Tom Courchene: A Symposium
11:00 AM 鈥� 3:00 PM
Registration is required.
The inaugural director of the School of Policy Studies, Tom Courchene (1940-2025) was a master at bridging scholarship and public policy. He made striking contributions to Canadian policy debates, and his contributions were recognized with the highest honours the country can give. He was an Officer of the Order of Canada, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, a recipient of the Canada Council Molson Prize for lifetime achievement, and a winner of the Donner Prize twice.
This Symposium asks two questions:
1) Why was Tom such an effective contributor to policy debates?
2) Does his approach to public policy remain relevant today?
Confirmed participants include Robin Boadway, Kevin Lynch, Lisa Powell, Bob Rae, Kyle Hanniman and Jennifer Ditchburn.
Lunch will be provided.
