Disaster and Emergency Management Conference Ontario (DEMCON)

On October 21-22, 2025 CPYC President Eva Cohen delivered a keynote speech at DEMCON in Toronto.

Beyond catching up- Disaster Response Reimagined: A Canadian Civil Protection Approach explains the government’s responsibility to protect its citizens, and the multiple benefits in creating readiness and strengthening resilience with a civil protection approach by empowering citizens to have a role.

DEMCON brings together emergency management professionals to share best practices and critical lessons learned, to build important new relationships with peers and organizations.
