​Join us for …the First Annual WEAll Can Conference and official network launch!

​What is WEAll Can?

​The Well-being Economic Alliance for Canada (also known as “WEAll Can”) is a network of networks dedicated to transforming the economic culture of Canada into one that centers people and the planet. Individuals and organizations who identify as members hold themselves in agreement with the WEAll Can Charter and its declared principles. 

​
Acting as a local hub of the global organization Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll), WEAll Can endeavours to recruit and convene members from the wellbeing economic sector in a facilitated process of collaboration, knowledge-building, and promotion. Our goal is to meaningfully transform the Canadian economy to one centered on the wellbeing of Canadian communities and the planet.

​Why this conference?

​The WEAll Can Conference 2025 will be a gathering of peers with strong ties to wellbeing economy practices from our collective networks. It is intended to bring wellbeing practitioners into collective dialogue in order to foster collaboration and momentum for wellbeing economies in Canada. If you are new to wellbeing economies, here is a great introduction. 

​The conference will be a facilitated process of networking around our collective and varied interests with some presentations to help inform folks about the inner workings of the formation of WEAll Can as well as what it means to be a member, and how you can best participate and contribute.
