Scholarship
This three-year program is designed to train Engaged Leaders, equipping outstanding doctoral candidates with the tools to share and apply their research and be creative leaders in their institutions and communities.
Seeking a Northern Perspective
The Future Forums touched down in Yellowknife for what turned into a rich, even moving set of discussions about the meaning of Inclusive Excellence and Engaged Leadership in the context of the Canadian North.
“So much love, inspiration & power coming from these strong female Indigenous leaders!” Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation CEO Pascale Fournier tweeted following the session.
During the meeting, Dr. Fournier indicated the Foundation is working to involve more people from the North in its activities.
“When you look at the North, and the Northwest Territories, there is big under-representation. I am not comfortable with that,” she told the group assembled at Yellowknife City Hall.
Participants weighed in with a variety of viewpoints on leadership. Hovak Johnston, who is behind the Inuit Tattoo Revitalization project, a project focused on the empowerment of women, said inclusion is key to effective leadership.
“To be a good leader you need to be mindful of all the people around you,” she said. “If you don’t have strong community, you can’t have a strong leader.”
Joe Handley is a former Premier of the Northwest Territories. He observed that engaged leadership is about stepping beyond what is customarily expected in much of society.
“It isn’t just about the elected leaders or the formal leaders. It is everyone,” he said. Handley pointed to Indigenous elders who have much wisdom and knowledge to share, but whose views can be overlooked.
“Too often we are too busy, and we don’t take the time to listen to people when they express themselves in a traditional way. It takes time. We have to listen, and not just speak.”

The Challenge of Inclusion
Participants at the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Future Forums in Calgary tackled the consultation’s two tough issues head-on.
Inclusive Excellence and Engaged Leadership were discussed in order to gather insights and opinions on how the Foundation can help foster better inclusiveness through leadership in Canada.
Foundation President and CEO, Pascale Fournier, set the stage for the discussion by getting straight to the point when it comes to the idea of Inclusive Excellence:
“Why is it that some people are never at the table? And what can we do to get them to come to the table?” Fournier asked the participants.
There was general agreement that the issue is multi-faceted and there are no easy answers. Another consensus in the room at the Calgary Municipal Complex was that actions can be taken to bring positive change, and the conversation brought forward in the Future Forums is a good start.
Lorelei Higgins is the Indigenous Relations Strategist with the City of Calgary. She says the goal of inclusiveness requires people from different backgrounds and cultures finding new common ground.
Higgins also pointed out systemic, institutional hierarchy can alienate people who don’t feel as though their views are valued.
“As long as we keep thinking of leadership by titles or by degrees, we are going to leave people out,” she said.
The Future Forums consultation in Calgary was hosted by Mayor Naheed Nenshi, who participated throughout the discussion period.
“Being a leader in a place of great diversity is at top of mind for me,” Mayor Nenshi said during closing remarks.
He spoke hopefully about opportunities to be part of the community and the decision-making process. Mayor Nenshi described one specific way he believes people can get involved right away: by taking up volunteering at least three times per year.
Inclusiveness is important, he said, “in order to ensure every person in this land has the opportunity to live this great Canadian life.”

Reconciling Knowledge
Impassioned discussions took place among participants who brought a wide range of experiences and knowledge to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation’s Future Forums consultation in Whitehorse on Tuesday. One major theme which emerged from the discussions was knowledge inclusion, and how some forms of knowledge are systematically left on the sidelines both in the academic world, and in general society.
Mathieya Alatini, past Chief of Kluane First Nation, said even as the Foundation seeks insights at the Future Forums on Inclusive Excellence and Engaged Leadership, the organization itself needs to look in the mirror.
“The Foundation can appear more exclusive, by design,” she noted, observing one key to Inclusive Excellence is “understanding different ways of learning, of being, and seeking awareness.”
Peter Johnston is Grand Chief of the Council of Yukon First Nations. He expressed optimism some of the right steps are being taken toward reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. But he warned there remains much work to do after hundreds of years of Indigenous culture, knowledge, and stories being ignored.
“In the development of Canada as a country, these were put to the side, supressed,” Grand Chief Johnston told the group.
He applauded Yukon College for being a leader in helping to ensure “kids going to school in these institutions see their own values being taught.”
Margaret Dumkee is Dean of Yukon College, which is poised to become the first full-fledged university in Canada’s North. She said the inclusion of all forms of knowledge must be a priority. “Before we can build reconciliation we have to build the truth,” Dean Dumkee said.
Pascale Fournier, President and CEO of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, applauded the heart-felt, sometimes blunt observations which were brought forward throughout the session on Tuesday.
“Ideas are great, but ideas mean nothing if they don’t come from the heart,” she said.

The Art of Inclusive Excellence
The second of two Future Forums in Whitehorse included the participation of members of the Royal Society of Canada and the use of theatre arts to illustrate the two main themes of the consultations: Inclusive Excellence and Engaged Leadership.
The event took place at the MacBride Museum, surrounded by the Land and Light exhibit featuring the Yukon-inspired paintings of artist Ted Harrison.
Throughout the Future Forums consultations, participants have been encouraged to make their own artwork to express insights and ideas about Inclusive Excellence and Engaged Leadership. Theatre arts were used for the first time, depicting leadership as pluralistic and seeking participation from a disparate group of individuals.
Cynthia Milton was one of the participants in the theatrical presentation, and is the president of the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada.
“How can we have excellence without inclusiveness?” she said, underscoring the importance of bringing more people to the conversation when it comes to academic pursuits and overall leadership in Canada.
Another Future Forums participant and president of Alkan Air, Wendy Taylor, noted that achieving Inclusive Excellence means adjusting mindsets.
“One of the challenges we face as humans is that we tend to bring like-minded people into our tent,” she said.
Pascale Fournier, the President and CEO of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation reminded participants of how meaningful their insights will be, as the Foundation seeks to innovate its mission towards a greater focus on Inclusive Excellence and Engaged Leadership.
“We are going to adopt a strategic plan which I am confident will bring greater Inclusive Excellence. Your suggestions are very appreciated,” she said while bringing the Future Forums consultations in Whitehorse to a close.

President's Message: Future Forums draw inspiration, ideas, and art
In the admirably unabashed way that characterized his work, the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke wrote, in a missive included in Letters: Summer 1926, his collected correspondence with fellow poets Marina Tsvetayeva and Boris Pasternak:
“Those who bring are of little worth to you; with a tender visage, you turn toward those who question.”
Since September 2018, the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is also focused on questioning. Spurred on by our striving for Inclusive Excellence and Engaged Leadership, we are travelling across the country with our Future Forums to welcome, and catalogue, the complex and deep responses that our participants put forward. Our participants have answered our simple questions with other, richer and more difficult questions, disarming us with their authenticity. In doing so they create small masterpieces, spontaneous living truths. Some seek a common language that would unite us all, or dream of it secretly; some say they must, in order to be able to breathe, leave the house they share with others, like loners who choose to view the stars alone, upright and free, facing an infinite sky. In Memoirs of Hadrian, Marguerite Yourcenar presented this dilemma that lives within us all: "… each of us has to choose, in the course of his brief life, between endless striving and wise resignation, between the delights of disorder and those of stability, between the Titan and the Olympian ... To choose between them, or to succeed, at last, in bringing them into accord." In our Future Forums, we come together to navigate these choices, and invite whoever joins with us to take up something bigger than themselves… and to accept from the outset the specific trade-offs that come with that undertaking. At the end of our journey, and thanks to your generosity, the Foundation will be able to create a strategic plan that will enable us to start breaking down the paradoxes inherent in our efforts to all live together, and to innovate and lead.
Of all the spontaneous outpourings of our participants, a few from our time in Alberta and the Northwest Territories stand out. The group we met in Edmonton mapped out a veritable topography of the soul. They shared this observation with us: “If we want to become truly inclusive leaders, we have to listen to those who are not speaking to us. Those who are on the margins do have something to say; we have to seek it out.” In Yellowknife, we considered the idea of time, its irrevocable nature and the mysterious rhythms it can sometimes impose on us. We saw how inclusion and engaged leadership can converge from the indigenous perspective, and we heard this powerful message: "We often want to come up with quick responses. Because we’re so often engaged in life’s race, we don’t take the time to listen. We have to be more patient. That takes time, and we have to accept that listening requires contributing one’s time. We can’t just speak." Take the time to take the pulse of the other, in the way of a doctor who treats each patient as an individual. Listen, and be silent. Say nothing at all, sometimes. Or maybe timidly risk a few words just to let others know that we are indeed there, in this grand slice of humanity. Make a real home in the places we’ve chosen to live in. Together.
At the end of October, we’ll wrap up our journey in the North, as we visit Nunavut. A past mentor, Iqaluit mayor Madeleine Redfern, will be among us. Our Future Forums will continue to move with the particular rhythms of those who join in on them, creating a kind of living space that transcends borders and lives in the interstices of time. Mid-November is also certain to bring fruitful exchanges because our two Future Forums in Halifax will be held in conjunction with, first, Nova Scotia’s Human Rights Commission, and second, the Royal Society of Canada, which will hold its annual meeting, “Celebrating Excellence and Engagement”. We will proudly share thoughts and observations with these key intellectual players. I strongly urge you to register for these sessions:
IQALUIT, NV October 29
HALIFAX, NS November 15 and 16
These historic events will be at the heart of the Foundation’s evolution, as we seek to innovate in continuing to carry out our mission. As we will be holding 25 Future Forums across the country, some of which are going on now and others to take place between now and March of 2019, the traditional Summer Institute will not be held. However, the Foundation will be holding a Strategic Planning Retreat, during which we will be sharing some of the lessons we have learned from the Future Forums and devising ways of using the information gleaned from participants to develop our strategic plan. What’s more...several other Institutes will be launched soon…and they will bear the definitive stamp of Inclusive Excellence and Engaged Leadership!
In a letter to Rainer Maria Rilke sent August 14, 1926, Marina Tsvetayeva used this image:
"Rainer, just as I am, all human relations are islands, and I am submerged – head, skin, hair…The past is still ahead of us." In seeking out that island, and in seeking to bring human relations back to the heart of its mission, the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation looks upon the past as if it were still to come – that point in existence that takes what is found in the ashes and projects it forward, that transmits a flow of nascent words, all resting on a foundation of inclusion. The dawn of the future is already imbued with the breath of the byways of the North.

Foundation takes community well-being to heart
The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation takes to heart the well-being of its community. That's why we're introducing new, proactive, modern policies that will help ensure the well-being of all our members.
Policy on the prevention of harassment and violence
In order to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all members of the community, we are implementing a brand new zero tolerance policy regarding harassment and violence in the workplace and at activities organized by the Foundation.
Under this policy, we will, among other things, prevent harassment through education and training and encourage employees and community members to report any situation that constitutes or may constitute harassment or violence. An accessible and effective complaints mechanism will also be put in place, allowing a Foundation stakeholder who believes he or she has suffered harassment to exercise their rights confidentially and without fear of reprisal.
This is one of the ways the Foundation is innovating for the benefit of all the valued members of our community.
Mental Health Policy
Recognizing the reality of mental health issues in our society and in academia, the Foundation is also innovating its practices with the adoption of a comprehensive mental health prevention and support policy for Scholars.
We recognize that our Scholars are under considerable pressure to perform and that they face emotional challenges when producing leading-edge research, conducting fieldwork, writing, responding to critiques, and coping with other institutional stresses. The individual experiences of Scholars can also make them more vulnerable to mental health challenges and affect their well-being and ability to perform to their full potential.
In order to break the silence and loneliness of community members facing such challenges, we intend to create an open dialogue around mental health issues. The first step towards this goal was the creation of a committee on community wellness composed of current and alumni Scholars. The committee has provided input on both of the policies announced today and will continue to collaborate with the Foundation to suggest other support initiatives.
We will also support the mental health of our Scholars through the following actions:
•Creating and maintaining a library of mental health resources that will be available on the Foundation's website;
•Providing mental health training to Foundation employees who have other employees or Scholars under their responsibility;
•Providing insurance coverage to active Scholars in order to help defray the costs of professional mental health services, when they feel the need to use such services.
The Foundation aims to fully implement the mental health policy by January 2019. Active Scholars can expect to receive more detailed information about the insurance plan soon.
In sum, as the Foundation embarks on an unprecedented period of renewal focused on Inclusive Excellence and Engaged Leadership, these new policies represent a positive step in our commitment to supporting the well-being of our community members.

Sharing Northern Knowledge
In a cozy room in a recreation centre in Iqaluit, a group of people gathered for an engaging discussion on what it means to be a leader today. The participants were contributing to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation’s Future Forums consultation, exploring the importance of Engaged Leadership and Inclusive Excellence in Canada today.
Foundation Board of Directors Moves Toward Gender Parity
Members of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation have confirmed the appointments of four new Directors and two new Members to its governance team.
These appointments follow a rigorous selection process built on the Foundation’s core values of inclusion, diversity and excellence. With the help of Perrett Laver, the Foundation's Nominating Committee has implemented thorough methodology aimed specifically at increasing the diversity of the Board of Directors as well as Members.

“Difference” Makes all the Difference
The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation’s Future Forums teamed up with the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission for a colourful and insightful set of discussions in Halifax. Participants included Foundation Scholars Jamie Snook (2017) and Bob Huish (2004). The group considered the issues of Inclusive Excellence and Engaged leadership in the Canada of today, and tomorrow.
