Canadian Forum for Social Innovation

Since 2022, The/La Collaborative and the Canadian Science Policy Centre have partnered to convene the Canadian Forum for Social Innovation. The Forum gathers stakeholders from higher education, the social sector, municipal, provincial and federal governments and community nonprofits for panels, catalyst roundtables, deliberative dialogues and concertation workshops to create alignment on various aspects of Canada’s innovation strategy to bolster prosperity across sectors.

Building on emerging consensus and a wealth of additional evidence, and with the support of valued partners, the guidance of its advisory committee, and the stewardship of the Canadian Collaborative for Society, Innovation and Policy @McMaster University, the Canadian Forum for Social Innovation convenes a national dialogue around key issues around social prosperity and wealth-generating innovation.
