About this Event

Canada’s information landscape is under siege. As foreign-led digital campaigns grow more sophisticated, the integrity of our democratic processes and social cohesion hangs in the balance.
Join Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst for a lively discussion providing a critical, high-stakes briefing from the front lines of the information war. This evening event is designed to move beyond alarmism toward action. Together, we will bridge the gap between understanding the threat and deploying a robust national defence.

​The event will feature a keynote from the Honourable Jason Kenney and a high-stakes discussion from experts on the front lines of the information war, bridging the gap between understanding the threat and strengthening Canada’s response.

​ Leading experts Marcus Kolga, Dr. Jennie Phillips, and Dr. Brian McQuinn will offer a clear-eyed look at the risks to our democratic institutions and what we can do to push back.
Refreshments and appetizers will be served.

Registration approval is required to attend.
Notice of Filming and Photography: Please note that this event will have photo and video recordings which may be used in future promotional materials.

​This is not a Toronto Public Library event.
