2025 Hybrid Annual General Meeting & Youth Summit

2025 Hybrid Annual General Meeting & Youth Summit
Toronto is hosting the 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) from June 6-8th. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is an opportunity for members and activists to come together in person to and inspire one another, to learn about each other’s activism efforts and campaigns, to share stories and experiences, and to listen, learn and participate in workshops, our sessions and panel discussions. The AGM is also Amnesty Canada’s highest decision-making body, and a place where important governance work happens, including electing our National Board and voting on resolutions that guide us in how we do our work. Throughout the weekend, you will meet and interact with individuals and groups from coast to coast to coast who share your commitment to human rights while making important decisions to guide our work. We hope that when you leave the AGM, you leave with new skills, new connections, inspiring stories, and a refreshed sense of hope and determination.

Notice - Registration Fees
We have decided to lower the registration fees for the 2025 AGM to support members facing financial constraints and foster greater participation and inclusivity. We offer free registration for youth members aged 24 and under. This ensures that younger participants can join the event without financial barriers. Please note that once a member turns 25, they no longer qualify for the youth registration category.

We have also subsidized the registration fees for seniors (60+ ) and those with limited resources. If you require financial assistance to attend the AGM, please click here to access our subsidy application.

However, if you are able and would like to further support the event, we encourage you to register under the general registration category ($75) or make a donation here.  Your support is greatly appreciated.
