The Victoria Forum is honoured to be co-hosted by the University of Victoria and the Senate of Canada. This partnership embodies our collective commitment to addressing the pressing challenges of our era through the development of innovative and inclusive solutions. We promote constructive, evidence-based dialogues across a broad spectrum of economic, environmental, and social issues. The Forum organizes critical events, facilitates meaningful discussions, enhances educational programs, and advances strategic initiatives in critical areas such as impact investing, regenerative capitalism, and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. Each of our projects is a step toward realizing our vision of a more inclusive and equitable global society.

Our initiatives are aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, reflecting our dedication to fostering a sustainable and equitable future for all. We are especially focused on hosting conversations and collaborations related to SDG 16 – Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions and SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals. 

A hallmark of the Victoria Forum is the forging of partnerships among diverse actors and stakeholders, where we act as a catalyst to drive meaningful change. Through integrating academic rigour with public discourse, we establish open, inclusive forums for dialogue, bridging divides between various sectors and communities. This collaborative effort extends our reach and enriches the ecosystem of ideas and solutions, advancing our collective aspirations for a better world for all.

Our unwavering commitment to making the world a better place is underpinned by a belief that trust, collaboration and open dialogue can address the challenges confronting us, drive meaningful change, and leave a legacy of well-being for future generations.
