Synopsis
This ground-breaking session explores the notion that the ethno-cultural mosaic is obsolete in today's Canada. It will describe the trends, beyond demographics, that have contributed to what is being called "The New Canada." It will also describe the emergence of "cultural navigators," a generation of Canadians who are able to move through a complex network of cultural spaces. It also looks at the new features of Multiculturalism 2.0, including an updated conceptual device called a "schema" for visualizing cultural identity. Finally, this session will look at the application of Cultural Intelligence on strategic hiring practices in Canada.
