Disaster Response and Emergency Management Symposium NORTH

Emergency management leaders and innovators across Canada’s North—we want to hear from you!

If you have recently led a response, managed an evacuation, strengthened continuity, or navigated recovery under challenging northern conditions, this is your opportunity to share those lessons learned and proven strategies.

We invite professionals from territorial and Indigenous governments, healthcare, critical infrastructure, insurance, and emergency management to contribute their expertise. Whether your experience involves wildfire response, flooding and ice-jam events, infrastructure resilience, or DFAA-aligned recovery, we are seeking practical, real-world insights that can support communities facing similar challenges.

We are now accepting speaker proposals and recommendations for individuals who can deliver actionable guidance and meaningful perspectives to advance northern-ready response and resilience.
