The past four years have presented unprecedented challenges for cities across the country. Since our last CivicAction Summit in 2019, the world has grappled with unparalleled crises, including a global health pandemic, economic strains, social tensions, and revelations of deep-seated inequities. Canadians faced widening polarization, political and cultural clashes, distrust in institutions, and spikes in inflation. Despite these challenges, there is hope. On October 13, 2023, over 330 leaders from public, private, and non-profit sectors gathered at the CivicAction Summit: Changemakers Needed. The Summit showcased ongoing work to address urgent crises, emphasizing that solutions exist.
