The Project
The Pearson Centre’s new Pursuing Justice Project will focus on advancing justice, diversity and inclusion as key underpinnings of a peaceful and successful country.
Canada is a society built on diversity; our national challenge is to always seek the opportunities and overcome the challenges inherent in that diversity.
Keynote Speaker
The Honourable Irwin Cotler has been a Canadian and international leader on the advancement of justice and human rights for over four decades.
He was elected as the Member of Parliament for Mount Royal in 1999, served as Minister of Justice and Attorney General from 2003 to 2005 and retired effective the recent federal election.
Throughout his career his advice and support have been sought the world over. He is a Canadian leader on issues of diversity and inclusion in our constantly evolving society.
