International Day of the Girl Breakfast
Women Leading Canada’s Future
Building Canada’s Future Workforce
Experience a full sit-down breakfast alongside Canada’s leaders as we explore the future of workforce development, economic resilience, and the critical role women play in building a stronger Canada.
Canada’s future depends on the talent we develop today.
As our country navigates evolving trade relationships, advances in artificial intelligence, renewed investment in manufacturing and defence, and an increasingly competitive global economy, one thing is clear: investing in people is the key to long-term prosperity.
The International Day of the Girl Breakfast is Build a Dream’s premier annual leadership event, bringing together executives, government leaders, educators, industry partners, labour organizations, and community champions to explore the opportunities and challenges shaping Canada’s workforce.
This year’s theme, Women Leading Canada’s Future, celebrates the women driving innovation, strengthening industries, and leading organizations through change. Through keynote presentations, thought-provoking panel discussions, and meaningful networking, attendees will gain insight into the leadership, partnerships, and bold thinking required to build a stronger, more resilient Canada.
More than a breakfast, this event is a national forum that connects industry, education, government, and community to inspire action, strengthen partnerships, and invest in the next generation of talent.
Every ticket purchased supports Build a Dream’s mission to empower girls and underrepresented youth through career exploration, mentorship, skilled trades, STEM, entrepreneurship, and leadership programming. Together, we’re helping thousands of young people discover careers where they can thrive while building the workforce Canada needs for tomorrow.
