On 10th November, the Youth Town Hall event, in collaboration with the Porte Impact Fund and the PACM Group (“PACM” or “Pacific Aegis Capital Management Group”), provided a unique platform for Canadian youth to engage in a townhall discussion with speakers the Honourable Ms. Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada, Federal Members of Parliament Mr. Parm Bains of Steveston—Richmond East, and Mr. Wilson Miao of Richmond Centre. The event aimed to inspire young individuals to recognize their role in a rapidly changing world and encourage their participation in international relations and global politics.

During the interactive Q&A session, approximately 50 young attendees and the speakers discussed global issues such as the Russo-Ukrainian conflict and the recent Israel-Palestine crisis. Minister Joly provided valuable insights into these topics and encouraged the youth to explore their potential impact on the global stage. The impassioned discussion amplified the voices of the youth to be heard by the Canadian Government and fostered community connections through open communication on both sides.

Mr. Francis Ng, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of PACM, stated, “In a year filled with turbulent news that may leave youth feeling confused and insecure. The Youth Town Hall event helped young Canadians to gain a deeper understanding of global issues and their potential to shape the world and generated a ripple effect that extends far beyond the boundaries of the nation. We thank Minister Joly and all the speakers who served as influential figures, engaging with the youth and demonstrating their genuine care. We believe in the power of dialogue, guidance, and inspiration to foster a more equitable and peaceful future. Here at PACM and Porte Global, we will use every approach to empower youth to become active global citizens and catalysts for positive change.”
