| OCTOBER CHAMBER LUNCH |
|
Join the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce at our October Luncheon.
In Collaboration with the BC Chamber of Commerce we have a presentation from
Brian Lee Crowley, Managing Director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, a national public policy think tank based in Ottawa.
One of the hottest issues in the natural resource economy as well as for major project proponents in any field today is 'social licence': who has it, who needs it, who can get it. But what if social licence has become a Trojan horse, giving project opponents powerful but undemocratic authority to obstruct economic development and defy the law and our legitimate institutions? And what can be done about it? Come and hear Brian Lee Crowley, head of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and Canada's leading commentator on social licence.
WHEN: Tuesday October 27, 2015
TIME: 11:45 am - 1:30 pm
WHERE: North Coast Convention Centre
COST: $25 Members and Guests, $30 Not-Yet-Members
