Virtual Summit March 3, 2027
As frontline community leaders and settlement agencies hold vital experience in building community, welcoming newcomers, and navigating relationships with Indigenous peoples and communities. This guide translates the official Call for Abstracts for the upcoming national virtual summit into clear, actionable steps to help settlement agencies, community organizers working with newcomers, and frontline workers share their practice, insights, and stories.
- Summit Overview and Invitation
The national virtual summit, titled Building Relationships: Indigenous Perspectives, Newcomer Belonging and the Future of Settlement, will take place on March 3, 2027. The summit brings together frontline settlement agencies, Indigenous community leaders, youth advocates, policymakers, and researchers from across Canada.
The future of the settlement sector relies on moving beyond symbolic land acknowledgements toward active, respectful relationships grounded on Indigenous lands. For grassroots organizations welcoming newcomers, this means centering Indigenous sovereignty, honoring historical truths, and forming non-extractive, reciprocal partnerships with Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and Indigenous communities.
Settlement and newcomer agencies are invited to submit presentation proposals (abstracts) to share frontline experiences, collaborative models, organizational reflections, or youth-led initiatives.
