"Sustaining Healthcare Infrastructure"
Keynote Address
Transforming University of Winnipeg Insfrastructure for a Sustainable and Healthy Community
Dr. Lloyd Axworthy
President & Vice-Chancellor, University of Winnipeg
Dr. Lloyd Axworthy is President and Vice Chancellor of The University of Winnipeg, graduated in 1961 with a BA from United College (now The University of Winnipeg), and received an MA and PhD from Princeton in 1963 and 1972 respectively, in addition to honourary degrees from universities from Coast to Coast. Dr. Axworthy's political career spanned 27 years working locally, provincially, federally and internationally. He has brought his breadth of experience to the University with an eye to responsible leadership and social and environmentally sustainable growth.
At the University, Dr. Axworthy is working to renew the campus and its downtown community with the view to making post-secondary education more accessible to inner city, Aboriginal, new immigrant and refugee students. In doing so, part of his focus has been to renew Winnipeg's downtown urban infrastructure. Many older buildings in Winnipeg's downtown core that had been given up as lost have now been revitalized into vibrant and vital University buildings.
Dr. Axworthy will share his experiences in the field of urban renewal and how it applies in the healthcare realm. In addition, he will explore methods of delivery of healthcare in the years to come. Come hear his innovative and visionary approach!
