Dr. Poloz, who majored in economics at Queen’s, will deliver the Chancellor David Dodge Lecture in Public Finance, entitled “Today’s Labour Market and the Future of Work”.

The event, being held in the BMO Atrium of Smith School of Business starting at 10:30 am, is free and open to all.

During his time on campus Dr. Poloz will also be taking part in a series of events, interacting with students, faculty, and administration.

He is the third Queen’s graduate to hold the central bank’s top job.
