LCF sessions are uniquely designed to include interactive and engaging workshops, trainings, discussion forums, and many networking and hands-on learning opportunities. Sessions are designed to allow participants extensive time to interact and dialogue with one another and will not be streamed online. Beyond the Forum, ICLEI Canada will continue to provide opportunities for practitioners from across the country to come together through free virtual workshops and webinars.  Please join our email list to receive information on future virtual and hybrid events.

We are pleased to include several French elements woven throughout the LCF experience including simultaneous translation of plenaries and select sessions. Stay tuned for more information. Join our email list to receive the latest LCF updates.
