President’s Message – April 2019
Our listening and learning tour – the Future Forums –concluded in March with the backdrop of the West Coast’s majestic natural beauty to inspire this monumental period in the life of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation. Since returning, the Foundation is riding on a fresh wave of energy drawn from all the amazing people who contributed their insights and ideas. The production of knowledge is no longer as it used to be. The world of ideas is being reshaped by a multitude of people who are claiming their rightful place at the existential and decision-making table. The most innovative and creative researchers are seeing the blind spots and confronting the reality that certain people have remained invisible in the very midst of our collective conversation. Inclusion and the democratization of knowledge are maxims for our Foundation.
