No matter where you’re from or who you are, you’re welcome in Toronto.

This is a city that thrives as the entertainment, cultural, business, sports, and tech capital of Canada – and events in this city come alive because of it. At Congress 2023 ‘Reckonings & Re-Imaginings’, York University will welcome up to 8,000 scholars to the city to plant seeds for positive change on the biggest social and environmental issues of our time. We can’t wait to showcase everything that Toronto has to offer during the first in-person Congress since 2019!

With more than 230 nationalities and 200 languages and dialects, Toronto has been named the most multicultural city in the world by the BBC. You’ll experience this acclaimed cultural vibrancy through the city’s cuisine, art, shopping, and especially the locals that liven up the streets. Toronto passionately embraces its diversity, reflective of Canada’s rich tapestry.

Toronto warmly welcomes FHSS delegates to the city!
