In partnership with CBC Radio’s IDEAS, the Samara Centre for Democracy recently hosted IDEAS for a Better Canada, a cross-country, public library event series that spotlighted local civic initiatives that have the potential to inspire the next chapter of Canada’s democracy. These events were moderated by IDEAS host Nahlah Ayed and held in public libraries before the 2025 federal election in Charlottetown, Burlington, Edmonton, and Nanaimo.
Our CEO Sabreena Delhon, Director of Research and Policy Beatrice Wayne and host Nahlah Ayed talked about the motivation behind this partnership on CBC Radio Vancouver’s Early Edition with Stephen Quinn, Victoria’s On the Island with Gregor Craigie, PEI’s Island Morning with Mitch Cormier, Toronto’s flagship AM show, Metro Morning. The series was also covered by the Burlington Gazette.
