About this event

What does the future of charitable giving look like? Through a series of panel discussions we will explore the struggles, politics and possibilities within the charitable sector. Drawing on the diverse voices of philanthropists and community leaders, Generous Futures aims to shed new light on equity and belonging in Canada.

What role do charities play in strengthening and growing cities? Gentrification is displacing long-term residents and adding to the housing affordability crisis. How can we revitalize urban spaces and build our cities while mitigating the negative impacts on vulnerable communities? How are city builders working to address this problem and responsibly revitalize our neighbourhoods? Join us for a panel that will explore these questions and more.
