THE WOMEN’S ECONOMIC
JUSTICE SUMMIT
Income security and mental wellbeing across women’s working lives.
Calgary, Alberta | 2026
A one-day summit focused on practical pathways, sustainable work, and systems change.
The Women’s Economic Justice Summit brings together women, employers, community partners, and decision-makers to address the real conditions shaping women’s working lives.
Income security and mental wellbeing are deeply connected. Precarious work, caregiving demands, and inflexible systems place a disproportionate burden on women and directly affect participation, retention, and long-term economic stability.
This Summit is designed to move beyond conversation. It combines evidence-informed dialogue, practical skill-building, and concrete commitments that support women’s economic security and mental wellbeing across the life course.
A Pathway to Economic Security and Equity
Women Work and Wealth Institute advances economic security, wellbeing, and opportunity for women by strengthening their access to skills, income pathways, entrepreneurship, and systems influence. Through practical programming, community partnerships, and policy informed engagement, the Institute supports women to build sustainable livelihoods, navigate a changing world of work, and participate fully in the economy.
Our work creates impact at both the individual and systems level. Women gain confidence, skills, and economic stability, while employers, funders, and policymakers gain insight grounded in lived experience. By integrating entrepreneurship, workforce development, mental wellbeing, and equity focused policy dialogue, Women Work and Wealth Institute contributes to more inclusive economic growth and a stronger, more resilient Canadian economy.
African Ancestral Acknowledgement
Women Work & Wealth Institute acknowledges all Treaty peoples – including those who came here as settlers - as migrants either in this generation or in generations past – and those of us who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery. We pay tribute to those ancestors of African origin and descent.
