Registration Now Open: 2026 Ottawa Food Security Conference

In Ottawa, more than 1 in 4 households cannot afford enough to eat. Last year alone, 558,866 visits were made to food programs across the city—double the number since 2019. We are at a systemic breaking point, and the time for collective action is now.

The 2026 Ottawa Food Security Conference themed Confronting a Crisis, Securing Our Future, will bring together leaders from across sectors, advocates, people with lived and living experience, and supporters. Together, we will explore a range of solutions to food insecurity—from community-based and community-derived responses to those that reframe how we understand and address its root causes.

This full-day event will be a vital space for dialogue, learning, and connection. Attendees will engage with food security stakeholders and community members with lived experience, and leave with actionable insights to continue this work beyond the conference.

Join us as we build a food secure future for Ottawa. Spots are limited, so grab your tickets now!
