At A Hinge Moment in Canadian History 

Join Us at the State of Canada’s Cities Summit to Strengthen Our Communities


Early Bird Tickets Available | December 3-4, 2025 | Rogers Centre Ottawa

Each December, CUI brings together hundreds of urban professionals, policymakers, business leaders, community advocates, and academics at the State of Canada’s Cities Summit to assess the health of our cities and shape their future.


In 2025, Canada faces a critical inflection point, as persistent issues like housing and affordability converge with infrastructure gaps and the need to establish a cohesive national economy.


The third annual State of Canada’s Cities Summit will spotlight what’s working - the local innovations, frameworks, and policies that are already making a difference and identify opportunities to scale.  We invite you to be part of this national conversation.


For a limited time, secure your ticket to Canada’s preeminent urban event at a 35% discount while Early Bird Tickets last.
