For generations, people across Canada have come together to support each other through volunteering, donating, joining, and leading. So why do 51% of Canadians say they’re feeling lonely? As traditional social spaces begin to fade, the fundamental systems and supports that keep communities connected and resilient are facing a quiet yet critical inflection point.
At The Walrus Talks Community Reborn, leading thinkers and civic leaders will explore how nonprofits are the invisible glue holding our society together. From building civic participation to studying Indigenous community models, our speakers will reveal how we can save the services that improve and enrich our lives.
As a historic intergenerational transfer of wealth approaches, and donor habits shift, join us live in Toronto or online for an important conversation about combating loneliness, bridging divides, and building a future where every Canadian feels they belong.
