About this Event
The 2026 Public Trust Summit theme, Trust Under Pressure: Leading in an Era of Scrutiny, will explore how Canada’s food system can navigate the challenges of maintaining public confidence in a rapidly changing world.
This year’s program is structured around three key pillars: The Pressure, The Risk, and The Response.
• The Pressure examines the broader trends affecting public trust, from
shifting expectations to polarized opinions and the fragmentation of
information.
• The Risk explores the potential consequences for the food system,
including how misalignment and loss of trust can influence consumer
confidence and decision-making.
• The Response highlights practical strategies and leadership approaches organizations can adopt to strengthen public trust and navigate this complex environment.
More than just a conversation, the Public Trust Summit is a national platform for bold dialogue and cross-sector collaboration. It brings together diverse voices from across the Canadian food system to shape a shared path forward—grounded in facts, transparency, and meaningful engagement.
