Run Like A Girl: An afternoon with Catherine McKenna

Co-hosted by the Smith School of Business Research Office and the Institute for Sustainable Finance (ISF), this joint event warmly welcomes all staff, faculty, students and members of the Kingston community. Join us for an inspiring afternoon with the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Canada’s former Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, in conversation with the Honourable Bob Rae, Matthews Faculty Fellow in Global Public Policy at the Queen’s School of Policy Studies.

Through a dynamic fireside chat, Catherine McKenna will share insights from her global advocacy work and her experiences championing climate action and women’s leadership. This honest and thought-provoking conversation will resonate across the Queen’s community — especially with those interested in sustainability, policy, leadership and driving meaningful change.

This event is free to attend but please register to save your spot. A book sale and signing will also be available on site for those interested in purchasing Catherine’s memoir. We look forward to welcoming you.
