Today our symposium guests participated in Disaster Risk Reduction Roundtable: The Future of DRR in Canada (in two parts). The opportunity for meaningful discussions and connections is something that we take great pride in.

The wonderful programs team has done an excellent job at providing opportunities to facilitate conversations!

Tell us what your symposium highlight has been so far! What has made this symposium different than others you have attended?

The future of disaster risk reduction in Canada depends on strong collaboration, shared learning, and engaged leadership.

Join the Canadian Risk and Hazards Network for the 2026 Annual General Meeting during the 2026 CRHNet Symposium in Edmonton, Alberta. This is an opportunity for members to hear organizational updates, participate in important governance discussions, and help shape the future direction of CRHNet and the disaster risk reduction community across Canada.

As we continue “Living the Lessons: From Impact to Insight,” the AGM is an important space to reflect on the work accomplished over the past year and look ahead to the opportunities and challenges facing the sector.

Did you know?

Your CRHNet Symposium ticket includes an Industry Night Social at the Art Gallery of Alberta.

Located in the heart of downtown Edmonton, the Art Gallery of Alberta is one of the city’s most recognizable cultural spaces, known for its striking architecture and inspiring atmosphere. It provides the perfect setting to step away from the conference rooms and continue conversations in a creative and relaxed environment.

Industry Night is a chance to connect with fellow practitioners, researchers, and leaders from across Canada’s disaster risk reduction community while enjoying an evening at one of Edmonton’s iconic venues.

Best of all, the Industry Night is included with your symposium registration.
