President Steenkamp: Making change in a shifting world

While change seems to be constant these days, and often beyond our control, it is important to remember that we can make positive change in our lives and the world. Indeed, our vision at Royal Roads, “Inspiring people with the courage to transform the world”, serves as a clarion call for us all to take action to make things better.

In my video this week, I speak with Dr. Tracy Smith-Carrier, who was recently announced as the new Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. As she rightly notes, climate change is the biggest social, environmental, health and economic threat in human history. Urgent action is critical, and we need it now. I’m heartened to have her and others working with us to help chart a new course in this rapidly changing world.
