Whether it is unlocking capital, expertise or project management, the
private sector has become a significant contributor to public projects
in Canada, from infrastructure to service delivery. National news
outlet the Globe and Mail, in partnership with Cities Changing
Diabetes Canada, will present a half-day hybrid event on 8 May to
showcase some of Canada’s most impactful public-private partnerships
(P3s) and the social impacts they deliver.
The event is titled Public-Private Partnerships: Where do we go from
here? Speakers will share strategies and ideas for P3 success and
discuss issues around governance and transparency approaches that
build trust with stakeholders.
A nine-strong group of
speakers includes Jeffrey Cyr, Managing Partner, Raven Indigenous
Capital Partners, an impact investor in socially responsible projects
that supports local capacity building and support for
entrepreneurship, and Matti Siemiatycki, Director of the
Infrastructure Institute and Professor, Department of Geography &
Planning, University Of Toronto. They will be joined by Adam Marsella,
Director, External Affairs, Novo Nordisk Canada. Adam will speak about
Cities Changing Diabetes in Canada, the Novo Nordisk Alberta Diabetes
Fund, and the Network for Healthy Populations at the University of
Toronto Mississauga.
Sessions will also cover leveraging
policy frameworks and investments to support social and sustainable
progress, a relevant topic for many of our network partners. You
