MLI expands thought leadership with launch of the Munk Senior Fellows program
For over half a decade MLI has delivered some of the most essential thought leadership needed to ensure Canada remains one of the best-governed countries in the world.
Now, thanks to a generous grant from businessman Peter Munk and the Aurea Foundation, MLI will make an even bigger impact on the issues facing Canada.
In July, MLI launched the Munk Senior Fellows program - designed to put the best minds in Canada to work on the issues that are vital to the country's security, prosperity and freedom.
