What’s Next: The COVID Aftermath with André Picard
March 14, 2022 at 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm
Another year has passed, unlike any other that has challenged the health care systems across Canada. As we emerge from the COVID-19 crisis, what lessons have we learned to do things better?
As one of Canada’s top health and public policy observers and commentators, no one is more equipped to lead this discussion than André Picard. In 2020, he was one of the first to make a public declaration to ‘shut it down’ and implement physical distancing measures. He has covered all angles of the pandemic—from the status of frontline workers, to the implications for older adults and youth, to the impact on our workplaces.
On March 14, Picard shares his in-depth insights on post-pandemic health reform with impetus that good must come from all of this.
