On April 20, 2006, Corporate Knights organized a special Earth Week Gala dinner in Ottawa to honour former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney as the Greenest PM in Canadian History. The event was the hottest ticket in the country with current Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Quebec Premier Jean Charest, Ben Mulroney, Sheila Copps, Elizabeth May, US Ambassador David Wilkins and other VIPs in attendance. Rick Mercer provided opening comments for the evening and raised eyebrows by bringing Liberal leadership candidate Gerard Kennedy as his date. Kennedy was seated at the head table with Mercer and the current and former Prime Minister. The event was broadcast live on national television.
The publisher of Corporate Knights is Karen Kun. The editor-in-chief is Toby Heaps.
