Join us for a chill gathering celebrating the power of free speech and press freedom with great talks and good vibes.
About this Event

Join the Free Speech Centre (FSC) for its third annual World Press Freedom Day event in Toronto—an evening dedicated to courage, resilience, and the power of journalism. This year, we bring together 150 voices, including exiled journalists, media professionals, policymakers, academics, and students, to reflect on the state of press freedom worldwide.

Through powerful panel discussions, a keynote address by a leading international journalist, and the recognition of inspiring initiatives led by journalists in exile, the event highlights stories of those who continue to report despite immense challenges.

At a time when truth is increasingly under pressure, this gathering creates space for dialogue, connection, and solidarity—exploring how journalists in exile remain impactful and connected to their communities.

Be part of this important conversation.
