In Defence of Democracy 2024, LIVE at Toronto’s Winter Garden Theatre

In Defence of Democracy is one of Canada’s most dynamic, live civic events.
Since 2019, it has convened a diverse audience that extends across sectors, disciplines, professions and generations to consider a pressing question of our era: how do we inspire renewed civic purpose in Canada? Previous IDOD events have featured Anand Giridharadas, Naheed Nenshi, and Lisa LaFlamme and have aired as episodes on CBC Radio’s IDEAS.

This year we feature Connie Walker, Pulitzer Prize recipient, Peabody Award-winning investigative journalist and host of the acclaimed podcast Stolen: Surviving St. Michael’s. Ms. Walker is a member of the Okanese First Nation in Saskatchewan and her work has exposed the crisis of violence in Indigenous communities and the devastating impacts of intergenerational trauma stemming from Indian Residential Schools in Canada and the U.S.

She will be in conversation with Nahlah Ayed, host of CBC Radio’s IDEAS, candidly discussing the importance of storytelling in advancing reconciliation, justice and democratic renewal.
