About The Summit

The Aspire to Lead® Chinese Canadian Leaders’ Summit is Canada’s premier national platform dedicated to strengthening Chinese Canadian civic participation and leadership. Since it’s launch in 2019, the Summit has brought together established and emerging leaders from government, business, academia, nonprofit organizations, and entrepreneurs to advance a shared goal: expanding representation and participation in Canada’s civic and institutional leadership.

The Summit integrates thought provoking keynotes, intergenerational dialogue, roundtables, mentorship circles, and action-oriented workshops designed to move beyond inspiration toward measurable advancement. Participants include senior executives, policymakers, board members, mid career professionals, entrepreneurs, and post secondary students, creating a dynamic intergenerational leadership pipeline.
