Save the Date: AIMS Chairman’s Dinner – Oct. 27

The annual AIMS Chairman’s dinner will take place on Oct. 27 at the Halifax World Trade Convention Centre. We have confirmed Gary Doer, former Premier of Manitoba and former Canadian Ambassador to the United States, as a keynote speaker.

The Chairman’s dinner is a major event on the AIMS calendar, and affords guests with the opportunity to meet many important members of the community. It is also a great way to contribute to the Institute.

We will propagate more information about the Chairman’s Dinner in the coming weeks. Please save the date and stay tuned to forthcoming issues of “The Beacon” for details about registration.

Imagine Canada with 100-million People

Professor Irvin Studin will join us in the Maritimes in November to speak about population growth and demography in Canada. His thesis, that Canadian policy should aim to grow the population to 100 million by the end of this century, represents a significant departure from the country’s present demographic (and strategic) philosophy. With a greater population attained from positive natural growth and immigration, Canada would become a more influential and important country on the world stage, and more vibrant, energetic and effective across its huge territory.

Dr. Studin is President of the Institute for 21st Century Questions, and Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Global Brief magazine.

Support AIMS

As an important voice in advocating fiscal prudence and market solutions, AIMS is a vital institution for Atlantic Canada. The political and economic issues facing the region cannot be resolved by a further regime of dependence on the rest of Canada, or by levying a harsher tax burden upon Atlantic citizens and businesses. Going forward, bringing public expenditure within the bounds of our means is the only way to ensure that the pillars of government in our region – healthcare, education, and public services – remain viable.

Your charitable contribution now will help us build a stronger legacy and make a difference in the lives of Atlantic Canadians. To contribute, please click here.
