Coming together to build financial well-being for one million Canadians

From October 26–28, Prosper Canada welcomed representatives from 97 community organizations to Ottawa for a national Resilient Futures convening focused on improving financial well-being for people with low and modest incomes.

Over three days, participants shared experiences from the first year of Resilient Futures, discussed challenges facing the communities they serve and explored practical solutions to improve access to financial help across Canada.

Discussions covered tax filing and benefits access, financial empowerment for people with disabilities, Canada's National Financial Literacy Strategy and ways to strengthen and sustain financial empowerment services.

The gathering was an important opportunity to learn from one another and advance our shared ambition of helping one million Canadians access free financial help and connect to $2 billion in additional income benefits and tax credits.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us in Ottawa! Your insights, experiences and willingness to work together are helping shape stronger services and better outcomes for Canadians who need financial support.
