Media & Press Information
We welcome credentialed media to cover Canada's national conversation on impact infrastructure.
The story behind the Summit
Canada needs infrastructure to prove what works
Billions flow through Canada's social sector annually — but the systems to measure whether it works remain fragmented and manual.
Social finance requires better data and outcome pipelines
Without stronger evidence pipelines, blended capital cannot scale to address Canada's most complex social challenges.
Workforce investments need measurable returns
Training investments are growing — but outcome data connecting programs to employment and economic mobility remains inconsistent.
NGOs need capacity to participate in outcome-based funding
Outcome-based contracts require delivery organizations to have data infrastructure they often lack — an equity dimension the Summit addresses.
Impact measurement is becoming core public accountability infrastructure
Adaptive measurement systems reducing burden while improving transparency are a strategic priority across government departments.
A national convening on the eve of CSPC 2026
Scheduled the day before the Canadian Science Policy Conference, creating a connected week of national policy dialogue in Ottawa.
