In an era of global uncertainty brought on by escalating tariffs, global trade policy, and geopolitical tensions, economic security and resilience have never been more critical at the local, provincial, and national level.

Join academics, policy makers, business leaders, and community innovators at the Summit on Economic Security and Local Resilience (SESLR) as they share practical solutions and evidence-based research to support local resilience in Canadian municipalities.

Explore key topics including:

  • Economic security in Canadian cities
  • Urban planning and sustainability
  • Sustainable innovation and creative local economy
  • Climate resilient development 

Whether you’re driving policy or shaping community development, you’ll gain valuable insights into evidence-based practices from some of Canada’s leading researchers, and walk away with creative, actionable solutions to drive resilience and sustainability locally, as our communities and cities look to succeed in a changing and challenging global economy.

Reserve your seat and be part of the local conversation on resiliency and sustainability.
