Join The Honourable Catherine McKenna, Canada’s former Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, and author of Run Like a Girl: A Memoir of Ambition, Resilience, and Fighting for Change, for an engaging conversation on climate leadership, courage, and what it takes to turn ambition into action.
Hosted at the University of British Columbia, this student-focused event features an inspiring talk and fireside chat with audience Q&A, where McKenna shares stories from her time in public office and her journey as a global advocate for climate action and women’s leadership. Together, we’ll explore what it means to lead with purpose, persistence, and integrity in tackling the defining challenges of our time.
Students, faculty, and staff are invited to be part of this special session—a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of Canada’s most influential climate voices and to gain insights on building a career that drives real change.
