Breakfast on the Hill

Next seminar:

TBA  

Held six times a year, the Breakfast on the Hill Lecture Series is specifically designed to bring research directly to the attention of parliamentarians, government officials, the broader public and the media. While reaching Parliamentarians, the BOH demonstrates the importance of humanities and social science research in the development of public policy and in contributing to the quality of life in Canada.

Researchers represent a variety of disciplines, subjects and viewpoints. The ideas expressed are those of the speaker and are not endorsed by the Federation.

Open to Parliamentarians, media and the public, Breakfast on the Hill includes a presentation, a question-and-answer period and a hot breakfast will be served. Breakfast runs from 7:45 am to 9 am and costs $15 at the door, but is free for parliamentarians and the media.
