ABOUT THE EVENT
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong is excited to host a fireside chat with John Stackhouse, author of "Planet Canada: How Our Expats Are Shaping the Future". In his new book, John affirms that when expats are connected to their country, they become a channel of knowledge and connectivity that leads to exponential impact.

“When a citizen leaves their country, it isn’t a loss of one, it’s a gain of ten. But, only when that citizen is properly connected.”

Join us on Wednesday 3rd January as John Stackhouse explores the value of Canada's expats and their influence from living abroad.
