Campus played host to Ontario카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, on April 1 when she visited the university to deliver a public lecture and take part in a roundtable discussion.  

Her Honour카지노 게임 컬렉션�s lecture, titled 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Ideas that Matter: Conversations with Ontarians,카지노 게임 컬렉션� reflected her desire to meet and speak with the province카지노 게임 컬렉션�s citizens about what goals and themes she should prioritize for her tenure.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I want to learn about what issues concern Ontarians, what they카지노 게임 컬렉션�re interested in, what they카지노 게임 컬렉션�re doing and what stories they want me to tell,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�If we카지노 게임 컬렉션�re going to promote Ontario in the world, I need to know what people are already doing and a university setting is a great place to have that conversation.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

At her lecture she recounted the responsibilities of the Lieutenant Governor and spoke about some of the experiences she카지노 게임 컬렉션�s had with the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s community. After telling of her meeting with the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Model Parliament in Ottawa, she praised the work that Dr. John Smol (Biology) has done to articulate the effects of climate change and shared the story of her investing Professor Emeritus Dr. James Low (Obstetrics and Gynaecology) to the Order of Canada. When Dr. Low was too sick to attend the Order카지노 게임 컬렉션�s official ceremony in Ottawa, Her Honour visited his house in Kingston to present him with his medal, skyping in friends and family for the impromptu event. 

Though she spoke about many of the accomplishments that Ontarians have to be proud of, she also devoted attention to the challenges that are facing the province. She says that among the hurdles facing the province are the task of managing the fragility of the environment, ensuring economic prosperity and fostering a fair, inclusive and cohesive civil society.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We카지노 게임 컬렉션�re living in an interconnected and interdependent world now and if we don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t know how to live in, work in and trade in that world, we카지노 게임 컬렉션�re going to get left behind,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says.

To better hear what카지노 게임 컬렉션�s on the minds of Ontario citizens, Her Honour also took part in a roundtable discussion with a group of administrators, academics, students and alumni. The group shared with her the work being done on campus to foster innovation and interdisciplinary problem-solving.

Though Her Honour has only been in her position for six months, she said she카지노 게임 컬렉션�s seeing clear lines between the matter that the people of Ontario care most about and that she wants to use her position to affect positive change.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�As Lieutenant Governor, I have a platform that allows me to shine a light on the big issues that our society has, things that require bringing people together for conversations on issues that transcend politics,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�My position is a totally apolitical one, so I make sure to ask every group I meet with, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�what do you think I should be working on?카지노 게임 컬렉션�카지노 게임 컬렉션� 

Her Honour카지노 게임 컬렉션�s lecture was the most recent installment of the Principal카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Forum, a public lecture series sponsored by Principal Daniel Woolf. Previous speakers in the Principal카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Forum have included the Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament, the Rt. Hon. Tricia Marwick and His Excellency the Governor General, the Rt. Hon. David Johnston.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We were honoured to host Lieutenant Governor Dowdeswell and to hear her address,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Principal Daniel Woolf. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I look forward to working with her during her time in office.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
