Blazing Trails for Women and Leadership

An Evening with Kim Campbell, Canada's 19th Prime Minister

When it comes to blazing the trail for women, the Right Honourable Kim Campbell's career includes many milestones. From the age of 16 when she became the first female student body president of her high school, until 30 years later as the first female prime minister of Canada at the age of 46, Ms. Campbell has spent much of her life breaking barriers for women.

Lillie Richardella, CEO of the International Women's Forum & Leadership Foundation, shared this about Ms. Campbell: “Kim Campbell occupies a special space in the world of leadership, not only as a woman of many extraordinary firsts... but as a woman who's created a rich legacy of inspiration and expanded opportunities for girls and women across the globe.”

Join us for a special talk by Kim Campbell and a panel in discussion with:

Terhas Ghebretecle, the Director of SPPG's Gender, Diversity, and Public Policy Initiative

Moderated by Peter Loewen, Director of the School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Toronto
