Ten years ago, Calgary blazed the trail by doing something no one in Canada had ever attempted before; launching the
WHAT
nation’s first 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness and charging Calgary Homeless Foundation (CHF) with its implementation.
Since then, through local community leadership and a collective impact approach, Calgary has built an internationally
recognized, coordinated, homeless-serving system of care that is designed to better meet the needs of vulnerable
Calgarians. The Trail Blazer Breakfast is CHF’s annual marquee fundraiser and is an opportunity to connect together
thought-leaders, innovators, philanthropists, influencers and entrepreneurs in Calgary — people who aren’t afraid to
blaze new trails, to leverage joint resources and expertise; in order to address the complex social issues of poverty and
homelessness as a collective community.
Our keynote speaker, The Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, was appointed Chief Justice of Canada on January 7,
2000. She is both the first woman in Canada to hold this position and the longest serving Chief Justice of Canada. She
retired on December 15, 2017. Throughout her judicial career, she has covered countless areas of the Canadian legal
WHO
system. In addition to her judicial duties at the Supreme Court, the Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin has chaired
the Canadian Judicial Council, the Advisory Council of the Order of Canada and the Board of Governors of the National
Judicial Institute.
Retirement finds her making history again. In May 2018 she was appointed to Hong Kong’s Court of Final Appeal, Hong
Kong’s highest appellate court, as one of its newest non-permanent judges. And in July, she joined Arbitration Place in
Toronto as an arbitrator and mediator. Her colleagues have noted that this new appointment is a win for women in the
field, citing much-needed gender diversity in the field of arbitration.

• Over 9,300 people housed, on track to house 10,000 by the end of 2018
• Over 550 housing units built specifically for the sector
• The sector consistently achieves a +90% retention rate for people housed, thanks to supports from agencies
• CHF’s Homeless Management Information System is Canada’s most comprehensive database on homelessness
Since 1998, the Calgary Homeless Foundation has been leading the charge to end homelessness in Calgary. As the system
planner for Calgary’s Homeless-Serving System of Care, we coordinate across the system—all orders of government
and 57 programs in 23 agencies—to help provide easier and effective access to services and supports for vulnerable people.
It’s working. Homelessness has slowed, thousands have been housed and Calgary’s system has evolved into Canada’s best—a
coordinated and collaborative network of agencies and people working together. But we can do more.

OUR MORNING INSPIRATION
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE BEVERLEY MCLACHLIN, P.C.
Former Chief Justice of Canada
Keynote Speaker
The Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin is an icon. Full stop. There’s no other way to describe
the small-town girl from Alberta who grew up to become the first woman and longest serving
Chief Justice of Canada. When you see her speak, you’ll hear a thoughtful reflection on her rich,
wide-ranging career and her time as Chief Justice (which she calls the “centrepiece of her life”).
You’ll marvel at her deep knowledge of so many hot-button issues—from mental health to diversity
to politics to the justice system and beyond. You’ll love how bold she is; how unafraid to dig into
the challenges Canadians are facing right now. And above all, you’ll walk away with that special
buzzing feeling you only get when you know you just witnessed something very, very special.
The Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin is the former Chief Justice of Canada. She is both the
first woman in Canada to hold this position and the longest serving Chief Justice of Canada.
Her judicial career began in April 1981 when she was appointed to the Vancouver County Court. In
September 1981, she was appointed to the Supreme Court of British Columbia. She was elevated
to the British Columbia Court of Appeal in December 1985 and was appointed Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of British Columbia in September 1988. Seven months later, in April 1989, she was
sworn in as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. On January 7, 2000, she was appointed

Grogan. Chief Justice of Canada. She retired on December 15, 2017.
In addition to her judicial duties at the Supreme Court, the Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin has chaired the Canadian Judicial Council,
the Advisory Council of the Order of Canada, and the Board of Governors of the National Judicial Institute.
She is the author of numerous articles and publications. In May 2018, her first novel, crime thriller Full Disclosure, was published by Simon &
Schuster. It has been widely praised, including this review from Maclean’s: “For page-turning legal thrillers, it’s hard to do better than this one,
and not just because it’s by the ultimate insider: the recently retired chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.” Later in May, she made
history again when she was appointed to Hong Kong’s Court of Final Appeal, Hong Kong’s highest appellate court, as one of its newest non-
permanent judges.
In June, during the centennial year of the Canadian Armed Forces Legal Branch, she was appointed honorary captain (Navy) of the Office
of the Judge Advocate General (JAG), a military branch that oversees the administration of military justice. Also in June, Justice McLachlin
was named a companion of the Order of Canada, the highest level of the Order of Canada, for her prodigious impact on our country’s legal
landscape.In July, Justice McLachlin joined Arbitration Place in Toronto as an arbitrator and mediator. Her colleagues have noted that this new
appointment is a win for women in the field, citing much-needed gender diversity in the field of arbitration.
She is currently writing a book of memoirs, reflecting through a personal lens on some of the issues she worked on throughout her career, like
Diversity, Indigenous rights, and the Charter. She spent her formative years in Pincher Creek, Alberta, and was educated at the University of
Alberta (B.A., M.A, LL.B.). Before becoming a judge, she practiced law and taught in Alberta and British Columbia.
As Canada’s longest-serving Chief Justice, Beverley McLachlin can speak on a wide variety of topics including but certainly not limited to
the judicial system, Canadian politics, culture and diversity, leadership, mental health, indigenous affairs, and our society at large. Known for
her resolute, ethical approach to the issues she faced on the bench, McLachlin brings a cool head to the podium. Her expansive talks inspire
audiences to challenge the status quo; to stand up for what’s right; to make a difference. “It’s very important that Canadians be able to see
themselves reflected in the judges they see on the bench,” McLachlin has said. In this case, we’re just as lucky to see her up at the podium.You can also read
