The Third Annual State of Canada's Cities Summit
| | | | | Shaping What’s Next for Urban Canada: City Builders Are Coming Together This Fall Ahead of CUI's Summit | At a hinge moment for cities across Canada, CUI is deepening its role as a convenor and catalyst for change. Leading up to the third annual State of Canada's Cities Summit, we’re hosting a series of gatherings to connect local realities with national conversations and move from insight to action. Read on to learn more about our regional roundtables, a new series on initiatives to accelerate housing development, the State of Canada’s Cities Summit, and more. | | | | | | CUI’s Regional Roundtables: The federal government’s ambitious nation-building agenda can only succeed if it’s rooted in local realities. That’s why this fall, CUI is co-hosting a series of pan-Canada roundtables with local partners to bring together community, municipal, Indigenous, business, and civil society leaders from across the country to share local insights, surface solutions, and strengthen collaboration. The ideas and priorities emerging from these discussions will inform the Summit agenda, ensuring this national convening reflects regional perspectives from coast-to-coast-to-coast. |
