We're pleased to announce that author and filmmaker Joel Bakan will be the featured speaker at our Annual Gala. 
Joel is the author of the widely-acclaimed book The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power (a companion to the documentary film), and Childhood Under Siege: How Big Business Targets Children.
His talk is particularly timely: “What's Left? Reclaiming The Public Sphere” will deal with issues of privatization and corporatization of public services, and the need to restore public democratic governance.
CCPA not only does first-rate research; it also connects with the real world by putting powerful information in the hands of advocacy groups and by presenting intelligent, progressive ideas in the media. It is a BC jewel and I urge everyone to support it.
