In a time of increasing polarization and social fragmentation, belonging is no longer just an aspiration. It is essential for creating more equitable democratic futures. As we reach the midpoint of a courageous three-year journey to make belonging a policy priority in Canada, we pause, reflect, and look ahead.

This session offers a reflection on the[* 2025*](https://316071.hubspotpreview-na1.com/reports/from-dialogue-to-action-the-belonging-strategy-midpoint-report?hs_preview=vQYtKvpU-202350616492&hsLang=en-us)[* Strategy for Belonging Midpoint Report*](https://316071.hubspotpreview-na1.com/reports/from-dialogue-to-action-the-belonging-strategy-midpoint-report?hs_preview=vQYtKvpU-202350616492&hsLang=en-us), marking progress in a bold three-year journey to make belonging a national policy priority. It brings together insights, lessons, and next steps from a growing movement working to embed belonging into the systems that shape our daily lives.

Inside the conversation, we discuss:

- **The Journey So Far - **A look back at 2025 and the growth of Communities Building Belonging, now over 9,000 changemakers strong.
- **5 Key Learnings for Movement Building - **how we build and sustain this movement across differences.
- **Strategic Recommendations - **preview of the 2026 priority pillars, including community infrastructure and policy integration across housing and climate.
- **The 2026 Roadmap - **How we are transitioning into "Enabling Systems-Wide Support"—the final stage of our 2024–2026 strategy, and what it would look like to build collaborative infrastructure for belonging through the Belonging Commons.

Whether you are a policy-maker, a community leader, or a signatory of the Belonging Pledge, this conversation is an opportunity to see how we can collectively contribute towards making belonging a policy priority.
