Community Ideas Festival

Wednesday, April 29, 12-6 p.m.

Emera Innovation Exchange, 100 Signal Hill Rd, St. John's

Community Ideas Festival is back this April 29 – May 1 in St. John’s, NL — bringing together community leaders, innovators and changemakers from across Newfoundland and Labrador and beyond.
This year’s gathering is centred on Future-Proofing NL’s Community Sector — exploring how we can strengthen the people, partnerships and prosperity our communities need to thrive.
Can’t join in person?
You can still be part of the experience. Join us virtually and take part in sessions, conversations, and meaningful connections — from wherever you are.
We believe that cost should not prevent participation.
If attending CIF would be meaningful for you but cost is a barrier, we encourage you to reach out. Bursaries are available.
