The Walrus Talks Philanthropy in a Changing Canada took place on Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at the SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts - Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema in Vancouver, British Columbia.

How philanthropy is evolving to serve the needs of our communities.

Philanthropic endeavours in Canada play a vital role in bridging the gaps that social safety nets can’t. With the never-ending trade war with the US and the possibility of a recession looming, philanthropic support from foundations is more important than ever.

The Walrus Talks Philanthropy in a Changing Canada brings together seven speakers who will discuss how philanthropy and charities are evolving to meet the needs of the communities they serve. What is the unique role of philanthropic foundations in the Canadian support system? How does philanthropy change based on the communities it supports? How can the philanthropic sector work with government and the private sector to institute long-term change? And, if we dream, how would we reenvision the philanthropic and charitable sector?
