The Centre for Global Challenges is a bilingual and non-partisan public policy forum associated with the Glendon School of Public and International Affairs.[1] The CGC promotes public discussion of key issues. It seeks to bring together thought leaders – practitioners and scholars, policy makers and researchers – to explore the Canadian implications of key challenges like harnessing the global economy, adapting health and social architecture for the knowledge economy and the new demography, accommodating religion, diversity and common citizenship, and improving public institutions.
