Historical Spotlight
In the wake of the '08 financial crisis, visionary philanthropists were inspired to launch the Canadian Centre for Advanced Leadership in Business (CCAL) at the Haskayne School of Business. CCAL — Canada’s most emergent centre of leadership research and education — creates a platform to build leadership capacity in students, works with the business community and is consistently at the forefront of leadership research.
