Engineers Without Borders, the BCCIC, and SFU School for International Studies are pleased to host the Candidate’s Debate on Poverty Reduction and Aid Effectiveness at the Wosk Centre for Dialogue on Wednesday, April 20.

Candidates for the Vancouver Centre riding, including incumbent Liberal MP Dr. Hedy Fry, NDP candidate Karen Shillington, and Green Party candidate Adriane Carr, will discuss and debate how to most effectively distribute Canada’s $4.5 billion foreign assistance budget.

The debate will focus on the need to modernize Canada’s approach to foreign assistance and will include topics such as the role of aid in Canadian foreign policy, the transparency and value per dollar of Canadian aid disbursement, and the potential reformation of Canada’s foreign aid assistance mechanisms. Each segment will include an opportunity for public questions.

Please join us at the Wosk Centre for Dialogue (easy and central access by public transit) on Wednesday April 20 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. Seating is limited to 150 for members of the public, so register quickly. To suggest a question for the debate or for general inquiries (including media interviews), please contact:  advocacy@vancouver.ewb.ca.


UPDATE: Debate will take place in Room #320 at the Wosk Centre for Dialogue

Engineers Without Borders | Vancouver City Chapter



 

Engineers Without Borders is a movement of community leaders, students, overseas volunteer staff, and supporters across Canada. Together, we are almost 50,000 strong. We believe that the next generation of rural Africans should have the same opportunities to improve their lives, that we have right here at home.

At home, EWB is leveraging our network to engage Canadians, our government, companies, and universities on a widespread scale, to build their connections to Africa and make choices that better promote and contribute to human development.

In Africa, our committed and innovative volunteers work in partnership with local organizations and communities – combining our knowledge and experience to find unique solutions and devise innovative ways to apply them. Our work is focused on enabling rural Africans the opportunity to access clean water, generate an income from humble farms, and access critical infrastructure and services.
