Canadian Foresight Network

What we do

At the Canadian Foresight Network, we create space for imagination, learning, and collaboration around the futures that shape Canada and the world. Our community connects foresight practitioners, researchers, designers, and systems thinkers through a mix of regular events, shared tools, and co-created projects.

Whether you are exploring futures for the first time or leading strategic planning in your field, Canadian Foresight Network offers opportunities to:

• We connect professionals from coast to coast to coast, bridging linguistic and regional divides.
• Collaboration is at our core: we support joint projects, knowledge-sharing, and mutual learning.
• We champion both English and French voices in futures conversations.
• Through training and events, we build capacity in futures methodologies — from games and foresight tools to anticipatory governance and futures literacy.
• We create space for bold thinking — sharing best practices, pushing beyond safe or familiar ideas, and leaving no one behind in conversation.
