The Nipikiskwasīwan National Summit 2026 – “Rekindling the Home Fire” April 8–9, 2026 | Edmonton EXPO Centre). Has extended Early Bird registration to January 23, 2026 to make it easier for teams to confirm attendance after the holidays.
This is an interactive, working Summit for people carrying indigenous child, youth, and family services- a place to come together, share what’s helping on the ground, and strengthen practice in a way that keeps indigenous children connected to family, community, identity, and belonging. We’re shaping sessions to be useful in real life what teams can carry back into the work right away.
The Summit is organized around six connected streams:
• C-92 implementation (policy to practice)
• High-risk & complex-needs youth
• Workforce wellness
• Funding pressures & sustainability
• Prevention & kinship pathways
• Land-based, culturally grounded care
