Centre for Canadian Growth and Prosperity
Convene and Mobilize
Bringing together Canadians to generate a national blueprint for action.
Through a national Listening Tour and ongoing Digital Town Halls, we’re inviting Canadians to help forge a bold, inclusive vision for the country’s economic future. Using a hybrid approach, pairing in-person events with a digital platform, we will create space for leaders and communities to surface innovative and actionable ideas, challenge assumptions, and identify practical opportunities for progress.
These inclusive forums will use open, participatory formats to surface insights from across regions and sectors, turning dialogue into direction and momentum for change. Together, we will mobilize collective intelligence and build a shared foundation for prosperity that reflects the full diversity of Canada’s perspectives and strengths.
Why are we hosting events?
Canada is home to extraordinary ideas and exceptional leadership, yet our most pressing challenges are too complex to address in isolation. We are uniquely positioned to bridge these gaps.
With a network spanning more than 500 organizations nationwide, our national events will bring together the brightest minds across the country.
By fostering dialogue across key policy areas, we aim to surface compelling insights and translate them into a forward-looking, actionable blueprint for action. These events are not just conversations; they are catalysts for coordinated meaningful change.
Listening Tour
The Bold Ideas for Canada Listening Tour is a series of high-energy events designed to surface strategic, practical ideas to strengthen Canada’s prosperity. Each session brings together a highly curated mix of leaders, innovators, and changemakers from business, government, education, non-profits, and Indigenous organizations.
These are not traditional conferences or panel discussions. Each event is a dynamic, interactive working session where participants share their insights, collaborate across sectors, and co-create solutions to Canada’s most pressing challenges.
The ideas and solutions generated through the Listening Tour will be documented in regional reports. At the end of the Tour, a national summary report will bring together insights from across the country, outlining what is needed to strengthen Canada’s prosperity, how to achieve it, and the key considerations for success.
To move from ideas to action, the Centre will share these reports widely with partners and stakeholders to inspire collaboration, inform policy, and catalyze real change. Through ongoing engagement, the CCGP will help connect the right people, resources, and organizations needed to turn bold ideas into impact.

The Digital Town Hall
Alongside the in-person Listening Tour events, the CCGP will host Digital Town Halls in each region of Canada. These virtual sessions give participants the opportunity to learn about the Centre, hear from bold thinkers, and—most importantly—share their own ideas for Canada’s future.
Each Digital Town Hall will launch an interactive online forum where people across the region can contribute their perspectives on what Canada needs to do to thrive. Insights gathered through these discussions will be included in the national summary report.
Together, the Listening Tour and Digital Town Halls help democratize information and ensure that every Canadian voice contributes to shaping a better future.
