Join us for an in-person gathering of
Open to everyone—no matter your perspective or background—this event is a chance to meet fellow Canadians who care about the state of our politics and communities, and who want to have courageous conversations on the topics that matter.
Why? Because the debates that often happen online deserve a different kind of space—one that is respectful, facilitated, and designed for curiosity. Together, we’ll practice listening deeply, learning from each other, and exploring how we can stay connected even when we disagree.
When we disconnect, we all lose. So we may not all agree, but we can build bridges

🍁 About Conversations with Canadians
Conversations with Canadians is a national community of bridge builders, bringing people together to have quality conversations that will help us heal, deepen relationships, and spark action that will move us forward, together.
Why these conversations matter:
✔️ Connection & Community: In a world where division and polarization are growing, we need genuine connection to strengthen our communities.
✔️ Challenging Simple Narratives: Canada’s story isn’t simple, we need to challenge easy answers, explore complexity, and encourage fresh thinking that moves us forward.
✔️ Skills & Spaces for Courageous Conversations: A unique opportunity for Canadians to engage in respectful, meaningful, and necessary conversations.
✔️ Building Bridges, Not Walls: When we listen with openness and respect, we can build trust that breaks down walls, creates cohesion and helps pave the way for new possibilities.
