SS Forum Presents Stephen Cornish: Humanitarianism in Crisis

Stephen Cornish has spent a career saving lives around the world: managing humanitarian responses from Chechnya to Sierra Leone, negotiating with warlords to gain access to vulnerable populations, and securing the release of abducted aid-workers. Most recently, Stephen has served as the General Director of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Switzerland, responsible for providing more than $350 million of humanitarian assistance annually. A decade ago, Stephen took a break from MSF to serve as CEO of the David Suzuki Foundation, where he helped guide one of Canada’s most influential environmental organizations through a period of growing urgency around climate change, biodiversity, and sustainability. Please join the Salt Spring Forum in warmly welcoming Stephen Cornish, a humanitarian and environmental hero, who will join us for a wide-ranging conversation about the perilous state of the world—and why we must never give up. $20 Members | $25 Public | Youth 19 and Under $5 BUY TICKETS Venue: ArtSpring – Theatre.
