Here's What Attendees Are Saying
2026 Conference Charity
Each year, CPB Canada selects a conference charity as part of our commitment to leaving a positive, lasting mark on the cities and communities we visit. This year, we are honoured to support Second Harvest, an incredible organization dedicated to reducing food insecurity and food waste across Canada. Through their work in Montreal, Second Harvest supports and strengthens a network of local non-profit organizations, helping ensure surplus food reaches those who need it most. We invite you to join us in supporting this meaningful cause. Together, we can reach our fundraising goal of $5,000.
