Emerging Threat Landscape

Date: June 22-23, 2026
Location: Saywell Hall, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia

This hybrid workshop featured short presentations on salient issues that have been identified by network stakeholders and provide ample opportunities for discussion. The goals of this workshop are two-fold:

  1. To leverage expertise across the network to identify and discuss what we collectively feel are emerging or escalating extremist concerns; and
  2. To help CANSES establish our research and funding priorities for the next fiscal year.
