Together Towards a Tobacco-Free Canada!

Join us at the National Five by 35 Townhall and be part of Canada’s bold journey

to reduce smoking rates to 5% by 2035. This is your chance to share your voice, connect with colleagues who share your passion, and influence next steps.

 

Expect an energizing day of inspiration and collaboration.

 

The day will feature thought-provoking presentations from leading voices in tobacco control, including Les Hagen, Rob Cunningham, Michael Chaiton, Lorraine Greaves, and Indigenous tobacco control experts, who will share progress, opportunities, and perspectives on equity.

 

Participants will engage in two sets of dynamic, small-group discussions:

  • Morning: Tackling barriers, opportunities, and bold actions to accelerate progress
  • Afternoon: Focusing on strategies for special populations (including youth, Indigenous Peoples, seniors, women, people working in constructions and hospitality, and those facing mental health or substance use challenges).

 

Each table will select discussion prompts, capture insights, and share back to the full group, ensuring that every voice contributes to sharing the path forward.

 

Guided by Ideaspace, specialists in engagement and communication, the
Townhall is designed to harness the collective expertise of everyone in the room. Together, we’ll spark new ideas, build connections, and strengthen momentum toward our shared goal.

 

Don’t miss this opportunity to have your voice heard and help shape Canada’s tobacco-free future.
