The Centre for Global Challenges is a bilingual and non-partisan public policy forum associated with the Glendon School of Public and International Affairs. The CGC promotes public discussion of key issues. It seeks to bring together thought leaders – practitioners and scholars, policy makers and researchers – to explore the Canadian implications of key challenges. Such issues include: harnessing the global economy, adapting health and social architecture for the knowledge economy and the new demography, accommodating religion, diversity and common citizenship, and improving public institutions.
