The Fascinating Canadian Speaker Series is the Museum’s signature fundraiser held annually in Toronto and Halifax. Each event features a notable Canadian recognized as an expert in their field. Most have a direct link to the immigration experience and share their own family’s journey, as well as their thoughts on the important role immigration has had and continues to have in impacting our economy, culture, and way of life.

This year’s keynote speaker in Toronto will be Mirko Bibic, President and CEO of BCE Inc. & Bell Canada.
