Don't miss this unique opportunity to engage with former Prime Minister and Canadian icon Joe Clark, hosted by broadcaster and author Don Newman. The Writers Festival is honoured to be presenting the Ottawa Launch of Canada in a Century of Change on November 7th at 7:00 PM at Southminster United Church, 15 Aylmer (at Bank Street) in Old Ottawa south. Tickets: $15/ $10 for students and seniors, call 613 562 1243 or on line at writersfestival.org Join us for a passionate argument for Canada's reassertion of its place on the world stage, from a former prime minister and one of Canada's most respected political figures. Don't miss the conversation between Don Newman and the Right Honourable Joe Clark. As the world becomes more competitive and complex, and the chances of deadly conflict grow, the example and the initiative of Canada can become more important than they have ever been. That depends on its people: assets have no value if Canadians don't recognize or use them, or worse, if they waste them. Joe Clark takes us beyond formal foreign policy and looks at the contributions and leadership offered by Canada's most successful individuals and organizations who are already putting these uniquely Canadian assets to work internationally. Copies of How We Lead: Canada in a Century of Change and Welcome to the Broadcast will be available on-site. A booksigning will follow the event. The Rt. Hon. Joe CLARK, P.C., C.C. served as a federal Member of Parliament for twenty-five years and held the most senior Cabinet positions, including those of Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, Minister of Constitutional Affairs and President of the Privy Council. Mr. Clark continues to work with international foundations, associations and businesses on issues of governance, democratic reform, security and peace. He lives in Ottawa with his wife, Maureen McTeer.
