Join us for UBC Okanagan Debates on September 16
Few questions divide Canadians, and generations, more sharply. Young adults face housing they can’t afford, entry-level work reshaped by AI, and a mental-health crisis their parents never named. Yet they are also the best-educated, healthiest and most connected generation in history, holding tools no one before them had.
Are we leaving the next generation a better world—or failing them?
Join four distinguished voices for a thought-provoking discussion on one of today’s defining economic and social issues.
