In Defence of Democracy: Connie Walker in conversation with Nahlah Ayed
Thursday, November 14, 2024, at 6:30 p.m.
The 2024 In Defence of Democracy event features Connie Walker, a Pulitzer Prize recipient, Peabody Award-winning investigative journalist and host of the acclaimed podcast Stolen: Surviving St. Michael’s. Walker is a member of the Okanese First Nation in Saskatchewan and her work has exposed the crisis of violence in Indigenous communities and the devastating impacts of intergenerational trauma stemming from Indian Residential Schools in Canada and the United States. She will be in conversation with Nahlah Ayed, the host of CBC Radio’s Ideas, candidly discussing the importance of storytelling in advancing reconciliation, justice and democratic renewal.
In Defence of Democracy is presented by the Samara Centre for Democracy. Each year, the program convenes a diverse audience that extends across sectors, disciplines, professions and generations to consider a pressing question of our era: How do we inspire renewed civic purpose in Canada?
