Forum consultation kicks off
In December 2020,
it was welcoming Forum for Young Canadians under its umbrella. Over its 45-year history, Forum has helped more than 25,000 Canadians deepen their understanding of Canada and its national decision-making processes.
The RHF pledged to initiate a robust consultation process with key stakeholders, partners, alumni and most importantly young people from across the country, to develop the next iteration of Forum’s programming to ensure it returns stronger post-pandemic.
