As Canada’s longest-serving Chief Justice, Beverley McLachlin can speak on a wide variety of topics including but certainly not limited to the judicial system, Canadian politics, culture and diversity, leadership, mental health, Indigenous affairs, and our society at large. Known for her resolute, ethical approach to the issues she faced on the bench, McLachlin brings a cool head to the podium. Her expansive talks inspire audiences to challenge the status quo; to stand up for what’s right; to make a difference. “It’s very important that Canadians be able to see themselves reflected in the judges they see on the bench,” McLachlin has said. In this case, we’re just as lucky to see her up on stage.
