2026 City Building Summit - Capital 200: Owning Our Future

Building the Next 200 Years of Innovation, Collaboration, and Inclusive Prosperity 

 The City Building Summit is Ottawa’s premier forum for shaping the future of Canada’s Capital Region. This full-day event brings together city builders, policy makers, and community leaders for an inclusive conversation about the opportunities and challenges ahead. 

The 2026 City Building Summit looks beyond the immediate horizon to consider the long-term future of our city. More than a conference, it is an opportunity to help frame the agenda for the next 200 years and reflect on how we show up as ambassadors, leaders, and mentors in shaping Ottawa’s future. 

This is your opportunity to make your voice heard, contribute to meaningful dialogue, and help drive the economic growth and quality of life that define our region. Together, we are building a stronger Ottawa that thrives today and for generations to come.
