TL Insider Fireside Chats feature the most compelling people in politics, society, literature, fashion, design, food, and more, and as part of our virtual programming, we're bringing these dynamic leaders into your homes.
On Monday, June 21, you're invited to an important Fireside Chat with special guests the Honourable Leela Aheer, Minister of Culture, Multiculturalism and Status of Women, Geraldine Huse, President of Procter & Gamble Canada, and Rahul Singh, Executive Director at GlobalMedic, to discuss the intersection between businesses, governments, and charities, and the impactful ways they work together to be a Force for Good.
Minister Leela Aheer was first elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta for the constituency of Chestermere-Rocky View on May 5, 2015. She was appointed as Alberta’s Minister of Culture, Multiculturalism and Status of Women on April 30, 2019. She is also Minister responsible for the Francophone Secretariat. Previously serving as the Opposition Critic for Children’s Services and Status of Women, Aheer brings her experience as a legislator to her new portfolio. A key priority of the new government is to provide more protections for women, through initiatives like Clare’s Law. Aheer will continue to work hard to build an Alberta that regardless of who you are, who you love, where you come from, to whom you pray - is for generations to come, strong and free.
