The Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy invites you to an evening with the Hon. Gordon Campbell.

Under his leadership, the Government of British Columbia introduced major reforms in a wide range of policy issues, and in 2008, introduced the first broad-based carbon tax in North America aimed at reducing provincial GHG emissions. The Hon. Gordon Campbell will speak about his experiences leading the province, the challenges to policy innovation at the provincial level, and his own experiences pushing against the status quo.

The Hon. Gordon Campbell was recently named an officer of the Order of Canada for his service as the High Commissioner of Canada in the United Kingdom, from 2011-2016, and most recently advised the Government of Ontario as the Chair of the Independent Financial Commission of Inquiry.
