New Century, New Risks: Challenges for Social Development in Canada Introduction On November 18-19, 2004, Social Development Canada co-hosted a conference with the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada, entitled “New Century, New Risks: Challenges for Social Development in Canada.” The conference was held at the Hotel Omni Mont-Royal in Montréal. The purpose of the conference was to examine the new social risks facing Canadians, highlighting the particular social development challenges that arise in a country defined by diversity. At the beginning of the 21st century, many countries ? including Canada ? are examining the effectiveness of their social architecture for responding to new social risks related to changes in family structure, the aging population and the changing labour market. Canada's social architecture was designed to respond to social risks facing the population as a whole, in keeping with McGill professor Leonard Marsh's observation that social “needs are always present at some place in the community or among the population” (Report on Social Security for Canada, 1943). Today, new social risks intersect an increasingly diverse Canadian population and a political environment in which the roles and responsibilities of different levels of government are shifting. What challenges will these changes raise for designing a new social architecture for Canada? Four questions shaped the structure and content of plenary and breakout sessions: What are the new social risks facing Canadians? How are governments responding to new risks and how do we measure their progress? What are some of the emerging directions in social policy for the 21st century? Who should be engaged in implementing practical responses to social problems on the ground? This report provides highlights of the papers that were presented over the two days as well as the discussion that took place in the plenary and breakout sessions. The report is not intended to be a comprehensive account of either the presentations or the discussions b
