This gathering is, in part, a celebration of 50 years of the Community Psychology (CP) program at Wilfrid Laurier University. We are thrilled to invite you to both support and attend a day of celebration on May 21st, 2026. This will be followed by the Canadian CP Conference on May 22nd and 23rd in honour of 50 years of the formalization of CP as a discipline in Canada. The celebration and conference are being organized in collaboration with partners from the University of Ottawa, Brock University, The Université du Québec à Montréal, and Toronto Metropolitan University.
The conference theme is Community-Based Research and Practice in Canada and Beyond: Hope in the Times of Polycrisis and we will be welcoming academics, students, practitioners and community partners from CP and related interdisciplinary fields in Canada and internationally. Our goal is to provide lots of opportunities for networking and sharing our collective and multi-sectoral work in forwarding the aims of social justice confronting today’s world.
We also encourage you and those who are interested in your networks to sign up for follow-up emails with important details (e.g. registration deadlines and event and conference programs) here: https://wlu.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_encwtVKnZf0Xj94
