Congrats Julie! Keep up the great work you do advocating for new rules so that financial institutions like banks and insurance companies invest in climate solutions, not pollution.
I’m hugely honoured to have been awarded a King Charles III Coronation Medal, awarded to people for having made exceptional contributions to Canada. Our country is super, and it’s such an honour to work with people to help make it even better.
