Frontier Centre for Public Policy Presents:

 

Growing Communities Beyond Economic Dependency

Guest Speaker: Calvin Helin, Lawyer, Businessman and Author

 

Economic dependency has become a way of life for millions. But government welfare cheques instill in their recipients a false sense of entitlement. The results are inferiority complexes, victim thinking, lack of confidence, learned helplessness, inability to cope with adversity, an absence of self-responsibility and accountability, and ultimately an inability to feel the freedom that self-sufficiency can bring. Worse, such attitudes are passed on from generation to generation until too often escape seems impossible.

 

About the Guest:

Author Calvin Helin  worked his way up from an impoverished boyhood in a remote First Nations village in northern British Columbia to become a successful lawyer and international businessman. He has dedicated his life to helping others break the bonds of economic dependency and emerge with newfound confidence and self-worth. He proposes groundbreaking, positive solutions in down-to-earth language that show the road to self-reliance. Economic dependency is not “Aboriginal in Nature”, but independence, adaptability, and resilience are.
