12.00pm – 2.00pm

The Australian Institute of International Affairs

is proud to welcome

Justin Brown, Australian High Commissioner to Canada

to speak on

Developments in Mining and Energy in Canada

As a major mining and energy producer, trends in Canadian policy and practice in dealing with many global issues - ranging from climate change to corporate and social responsibility and indigenous relations - have many parallels to Australia, and Canadian experiences provide a useful context in considering Australia’s own policy development process.

The luncheon is open to all Members. Places are limited and priority will be given to Members who have AIIA Membership.

To book, please call 9481 7000 or email admin@waclub.com.au. Two course lunch $49.50 (includes drinks). 

AIIA membership enquires may also be directed to admin@waclub.com.au. (Annual Fee $70).
