CBC's Nahlah Ayed moderates free public event in Edmonton

We live in an era of eroding democracy, where polarization is increasingly fracturing our sense of a shared reality.

With another federal election approaching, there's a growing sense that our political system prioritizes short-term gains over the long-term health of our democracy.

To address this, the CBC program Ideas will host a series of cross-Canada discussions that focus on local solutions with the potential to inspire national change. 

Moderated by Ideas host Nahlah Ayed, the discussions will take place in Edmonton on April 1 at the Stanley A. Milner Library.

Local storytellers and thinkers will come together for conversations that explore the next chapter of Canadian democracy. The event will be recorded and will air on Ideas at a later date.

The series is part of CBC's Collab fund, and in partnership with the Samara Centre for Democracy. The event is free and open to the public, but you need to register in advance. 

The details:

• What: Ideas for a Better Canada, a free public discussion about the next chapter of Canada's democracy, hosted by CBC's Nahlah Ayed.
• When: April 1 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
• Where: Stanley A. Milner library (7 Sir Winston Churchill Square)
• Cost: Free, but you need to register in advance here.
