Wow—where has the time gone? It’s already been three weeks since we wrapped up the 2025 in Halifax! This year marked our 9th annual summit, and it was truly one for the books.

A huge thank you to everyone who made the event possible—our incredible staff, generous donors, supportive sponsors, dedicated volunteers, inspiring delegates, valued partners, and so many more. We couldn’t have done it without you!

I’m Meaghan, the social media coordinator here at Motivate Canada. After an action-packed week on the East Coast, we took a short break from socials—but we’re back and excited to share more moments, memories, and impact stories from the summit!

Stay tuned—we’re just getting started.
