Led by the University of Regina and including 11 universities across the Prairie region, the Balance and Change in the 21st Century summit will bring together senior leaders across public and private sectors to discuss an emerging and confirming vision of Canada that addresses our need for economic and technological development as well as a culture of dignity, tolerance and meaning.  It will be much more than just sharing information. Our intent is to use this gathering of senior leaders as a catalyst for a movement to foster and promote a culture of balance in the future. Dr. Maioni’s lecture will raise awareness of the fundamental importance of the Humanities in creating a society that is balanced, empathetic and tolerant.
