The Discussions @ the Bistro is a series of intimate evenings featuring a wide variety of Canadian politicos, authors, social entrepreneurs, media personalities, scholars, and intellectuals. The sessions were developed to create a forum for discussion to meet the growing demand for greater social discourse regarding issues affecting Canadians.
Guests of the Discussions @ the Bistro will be treated to French cuisine in 3-courses paired with Ontario VQA wines.
Our Summer Series continues on July 22nd with the Hon David Peterson, former Premier of Ontario, and Roger Garland, Chair of the 2015 Toronto Pan/Parapan American games. The evening will focus on how Toronto won their bid for the games and how the city will prepare for 42 nations, 10,000 athletes and 100,000 spectators.
The Summer Discussion Series began with Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair and former Cabinet Minister and Chair of the Canadian Intelligence Review Commission, Professor Ron Atkey on May 27th, 2010. Our speakers will address the threats Toronto will face in the coming years, focusing specifically on security issues as the Toronto G20 approaches. Chief Blair addressed the challenges the Toronto Police Service, as a municipal law enforcement agency, must address, while Professor Atkey will talk about the role of CSIS and other federal agencies.
The Discussions @ the Bistro's first series, entitled the ‘Changing Toronto Forum’ (February 22-April 20), featured George Smitherman, Rocco Rossi and John Tory. Each speaker addressed guests at the Bistro discussing their visions for the future of Toronto. The series will continue over the summer.
