Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi takes Stratford’s Avon Theatre stage for LaFontaine-Baldwin Symposium

“Nenshi is a serious presence in Canadian life …

He’s more than the mayor of Calgary.

He’s an exemplar if a new kind of politician – someone coming up from a different background with a different kind of energy and a different perspective.”

– Charlie Foran, Institute of Canadian Citizenship CEO

“He’s a legendary off-the-cuff improvisational speaker …

We’re anticipating a really lively speech that’s really responsive to … the debate tonight (Sept. 17), perhaps?”

The Canada We hope For: A Naïve View, promises to have a broad mix of Nenshi’s well-known “storytelling and strong community sentiment.

– Charlie Foran, Institute of Canadian Citizenship CEO
