Since 2016, thousands of McGillians around the world have come together for McGill24, the University's annual day of giving. Our collective success is unparalleled: the largest Canadian fundraiser of its kind, McGill24 has raised more than $4 million in support of students, research and campus programs.

For the fourth edition of McGill24, the McGill Alumni Association of Calgary invites you to an exciting conversation about the future of food with the Honourable Ted Menzies, PC. Feeding the world will be a global challenge in the coming decades as populations rise, climates change and the economy shifts. Join us as we explore Alberta's role in keeping Canada fed.

Light refreshments will be served during the event.
