Pearson Centre Board is delighted to wish founding president Andrew Cardozo the best as he assumes his new role as a Senator! Andrew was appointed to this role by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and sworn in on November 29th. His appointment recognizes his many years of work in founding the Pearson Centre as it does his previous work in diversity and at the CRTC.

The Pearson Centre has a strong Board and robust program planned for the months ahead as we address these challenging times in the economy, health care and social cohesion/polarization. The need for a strong progressive think tank is stronger than ever.
