Join us on December 14, 2026, for the presentation of the results of Canada’s Futures Barometer 2026

Governments make policies for the future. Businesses invest in it. Communities prepare for it. But how much do we know about what Canadians expect and how much influence they believe they have over what comes next?

Canadian Centre for Futures Literacy | Centre Canadien de Littératie Des Futurs invites you to the presentation of findings from Canada’s Futures Barometer, a national survey of 1,250 Canadians with regional breakouts and a newcomer sample.
The research explores how Canadians imagine, think about, and anticipate their personal and Canada’s futures, including:
• How often do we think about the future?
• Do we feel able to shape our personal and collective futures?
• Do we believe Canada is prepared for change?
• How do trust, innovation, and long-term policy trade-offs shape our expectations?

Why does this matter for decision-makers?
For policymakers, public expectations, institutional trust, and perceptions of preparedness can inform long-term planning and more meaningful public engagement.
For business leaders, attitudes toward innovation, change, and uncertainty add a human dimension to strategy, investment, and workforce planning.
For nonprofits, foundations, and community leaders, insights into agency and differences across groups can inform inclusion, participation, and resilience.

For educators and researchers, the survey opens important questions about futures literacy, anticipation and futures thinking – our capacity to imagine alternatives and make decisions amid uncertainty.
The Barometer is providing insights how Canadians think about futures and change.

Join us to explore the findings and their implications for policy, business, and civil society.
