Don't miss your chance to register for the inaugural Big Thinking Summit: Reframing togetherness, hosted by the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences and George Brown College, in collaboration with Colleges and Institutes Canada. RSVP by the extended deadline of April 11 to secure your spot. 

When: June 3–4, 2025, during the 94th Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences

Where: George Brown College, Harbourfront Campus, Toronto  

Join fellow post-secondary leaders from across Canada at the country’s leading academic gathering for this milestone two-day forum that will unite colleges, institutes, and universities to strengthen connections and collaborate on cross-sector solutions to address Canada’s most pressing challenges.

Inspired by this year’s Congress theme Reframing togetherness, the Summit serves as a timely opportunity to reflect on recent events and strategize collectively on the next steps for the sector. As we navigate the intensification of challenges, it calls on the post-secondary sector to rethink shared responsibility and collaborative actions during this era of rapid change and uncertainty. Through collaborative sessions, panels, and networking events, this is a rare opportunity to engage in candid dialogue, share perspectives, and drive meaningful change on crucial issues impacting the future of Canada.
