CSA Policy Pathways Conference
Building a Thriving Canadian Economy
Canada stands at a pivotal moment in its economic history. In 2025, the country faces a complex mix of challenges, from looming recession risks and trade vulnerabilities to deepening inequality and stagnating productivity. At the same time, there is growing momentum to rethink the foundations of our policies and systems to unleash innovative potential, accelerate growth, and ensure all Canadians enter this new era on stronger economic footing.
The CSA Policy Pathways Conference: Building a Thriving Canadian Economy will convene leaders, thinkers, and changemakers across government, business, community, and academia to confront the pressing questions shaping our economic future. How can we build resilience in the face of global uncertainty? What will it take to unlock innovation and ensure its benefits are broadly shared? How do we design policies that promote competition, inclusion, and financial security?
Join us on November 5, 2025, in Toronto, as we explore how we can take bolder steps toward a more resilient, innovative, and equitable economic future.
