Our next Fascinating Canadian speaker in Toronto will be John M. Beck, Chair and Founder of Aecon Group Inc. 

But before all that, he arrived in Canada at Pier 21 as a boy with his brother and parents on their way to a new life in Montreal. We look forward to hearing more about John’s immigration story and his thoughts on the role immigration continues to play on Canada’s economy, culture and way of life.

The annual Luncheon with a Fascinating Canadian in support of The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 features a notable Canadian sharing their connection to immigration and their perspectives on why it continues to be vital for us all. Funds raised goes toward the Museum’s programming and exhibitions.
