Fireside chat with The Right Honourable David L. Johnston
Friday, October 21, 2022, 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Le Nouvel Hotel, 1740 Rene-Levesque West, Montreal
Over forty members had the pleasure of attending a cozy fireside chat with The Right Honourable David L. Johnston, C.C., Governor General of Canada, 2010-2017, and Chair of the Rideau Hall Foundation. The chat was moderated by Michael C. Kiefer, McGill’s first VP Advancement, who posed questions submitted by members before the event. Various topics included Canadian multi-culturalism and the role of the monarchy in our constitution. He talked about his book Trust: Twenty ways to build a better country, which explores ways to ensure individuals, their institutions and their country are more worthy of trust. The chat was followed by a book signing where many retirees had the opportunity to meet with their former esteemed colleague.
