About this Event

Book Launch: A New Blueprint for Government: Reshaping Power, the PMO, and the Public Service

Join us for a book launch with author James Mitchell for his new book, A New Blueprint for Government: Reshaping Power, the PMO, and the Public Service, which reflects James and co-author Kevin Lynch’s combined fifty years of experience in high level roles in the public service and what they feel government needs to do to meet the challenges Canadians face domestically (a productivity crisis, a cost of living crisis, and an aging population) as well as internationally (tariffs, threats to sovereignty, etc...)

The author will be featured in conversation with panelists Graham Flack, Allen Sutherland, and Jennifer Robson on November 17th at 11am. The event will be hosted in Dunton Towar, Room 2017 at 1125 Colonel By Drive, ON. This event is free and open to the public! Books will be available for purchase and signing. Don't miss out on what promises to be a lively discussion! Please register to attend.
