High Commissioner Lynn McDonald outlined Canada's feminist and progressive trade strategies during the nation's 150th anniversary, while a diverse panel of global leaders including Joe Tsai, Naomi Campbell, and John Wood exchanged insights on trust, humility, and "unreasonable" goal-setting. The event detailed how figures like Ms. Campbell leveraged industry influence for diversity and Mr. Wood scaled Room to Read to serve 12 million students by hiring private-sector talent for public missions. Participants concluded that adapting to AI-driven markets and addressing systemic inequalities like speciesism requires bold, mission-driven pivots to create lasting societal impact.
