What’s New
Doing Things Differently
The Pearson Centre for Progressive Policy does things differently. This is evident not only by our take on policy issues, but also in how we present issues and organize debate.
Forum for discussion
Above all, we strive to stimulate discussion and debate on important topics of public policy.
Evidence-based
We’re not interested in polemics or unsubstantiated opinion; all of our content is backed by evidence-based research.
Multi-generational
Striving to connect innovative thinking with on-the-ground experience, we encourage those of all ages to join in the discussion
Our Initiatives
The Canadian Flag
What are Your Thoughts About the Canadian Flag? Invitation to a National Conversation
In this Year of Canada 150 we’ve launched a national—and indeed international—conversation on what the flag means to people. Please join in. Send us your thoughts in words, pictures or videos. What do you feel the flag stands for and what does it mean to you? Keep the words to under 150 and the videos to under 60 seconds and we’ll post them. The only requirements are that you be respectful and you post in English or French so they can have the widest reach.
Please send them to: Flag Project Coordinator, Pearson Centre: info@thepearsoncentre.ca
This conversation culminates on Canada Day July 1, although the site will remain open after that.

This includes including parties with differing or divergent priorities and viewpoints and just as importantly, diversity in terms of gender, ethnicity, region, culture, age, profession and just as importantly,
This protocol is drawn from the success of many multi-partite meetings the Pearson Centre has hosted, and also inspired by the multilateral approach held so important by Lester B. Pearson in international affairs and global peace.
