New Brunswick: Different Future(s) – McKenna Centre Panel Discussion

 
Monday March 15th at 8PM
 

The St. Thomas University Frank McKenna Centre for Communications and Public Policy Speaker Series presents the panel discussion, “New Brunswick: Different Future(s).”

 

The province is in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic but at some point, the pandemic will end, and New Brunswick will need to re-shape policies and consider new directions.  Join us as four distinguished New Brunswick-based researchers and scholars discuss some of these different future(s) including social justice, immigration, the health system, climate change and governance.
