From October 16 to 19, 2025, the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation hosted the annual Mentors-Scholars Retreat in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This multi-day gathering brought together members from the 2024 and 2025 cohorts for an experience of dialogue, learning, and networking aimed at fostering the proactive creation of connections among participants.<\/p>

The Scholars and Mentors were welcomed to Halifax with an opening dinner. Friday was dedicated to roundtable discussions led by the Mentors exploring leadership, ethics, and social responsibility. On Saturday, a plenary session served as summary and wrap up session; a Scholar-led discussion on corporate political engagement complemented the program which was held at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21<\/a>. After a guided tour of the exhibits, participants headed to the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia<\/a>. The retreat wrapped up Sunday morning with some participants continuing to Dalhousie University\u2019s Stanfield Conversations<\/a>.<\/p>

Some Scholars had the honour of participating in a master class on democracy led by Asha Rangappa<\/strong> (Senior Lecturer at Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs and former FBI Special Agent) and Dr. A. Wayne MacKay<\/strong> (Professeur Emeritus at the Dalhousie University – Schulich School of Law).<\/p>

Several of them had the opportunity to present their research projects and receive valuable feedback from the experts and participants.<\/span>\u00a0Many collaborative projects are in planning.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Congratulations to Philippe Boucher, Pablo Ernesto\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Gershanik<\/span>, Gabrielle Leblanc-Huard, Vineetha Nalla, Tyler\u00a0<\/span>Paetkau<\/span><\/strong>, and Cameron Sparling<\/strong> for their presentations!<\/span><\/p>
