The Walrus Talks: Power and Belonging: April 9

At The Walrus Talks Power and Belonging, speakers from civic life, research institutions, culture work, and community organizing will explore how agency and voice define whether people feel they belong. How can dignity, trust, and participation be rebuilt when polarization is driving us apart? How can communities and individuals reclaim the power to make a difference?

Every year, new studies show continual erosion in the public trust in institutions and society in Canada. Democracy feels fragile, and many people feel shut out of the systems that shape their lives. Now more than ever, it’s important to question and understand the intersection of power and belonging.

From democracy and civic participation to education, economic systems, and cultural identity, join us live in Toronto or online for fast-paced talks exploring the power to participate, be heard, and connect with others around shared purpose.
