Canada’s public post-secondary sector stands at a pivotal crossroads where significant challenges meet promising opportunities. Rapid policy changes, shifting workforce demands, technological advancements, and the uncertainty of an approaching federal election have created a complex landscape that demands bold, innovative, and forward-thinking leadership.
This is a defining moment—not just for the future of our post-secondary system, but for Canada itself.
Public colleges and institutes play a crucial role in addressing Canada’s biggest challenges, from housing and healthcare to sustainability and workforce productivity. They train the builders, caregivers, innovators, and first responders who form the backbone of our communities and economy. Their success is Canada’s success.
Introducing the Futures Forum
To support colleges and institutes tackle sector-wide challenges and meet Canada’s evolving needs, CICan is proud to launch the Futures Forum. This new, dynamic concept places transformational leadership at the forefront, connecting decision-makers with powerful insights, cutting-edge analysis, and collaborative opportunities to turn bold ideas into actionable solutions.
Through events like the biennial Leaders Summit and monthly Presidents Circle, the Futures Forum ensures colleges and institutes stay agile, responsive, and primed to lead Canada into a thriving future.
Together, our network of forward-thinking leaders and institutions is shaping what’s to come and driving lasting, positive change for all Canadians.
