Ensuring Equitable Integrated Long-Term Care for Rural and Vulnerable Communities

This webinar is presented by Laurel. 

People living in rural areas and those in vulnerable situations can face significant barriers to accessing integrated long-term care across Europe. Geographic distance, workforce shortages, limited digital infrastructure and wider social vulnerability can all reduce access to timely, coordinated and person-centred care.

This 75-minute Laurel webinar will explore how integrated long-term care systems can remain accessible and equitable for underserved communities. It will focus on the practical, organisational and policy challenges involved in delivering care in rural settings and ensuring that services respond effectively to people facing disadvantage or exclusion.

More than a discussion, this session will bring together European projects, policy perspectives and real-world examples to highlight promising approaches to reducing inequalities in care access, including innovative service models, digital solutions and community-based responses.

Join us to help shape more equitable integrated long-term care policy and practice across Europe.

# What You’ll Learn

  • How rural realities and social vulnerability affect access to integrated long-term care

  • Key challenges for professionals, communities and systems, including workforce shortages, distance and continuity of care

  • How innovative service models and digital tools can help improve access and reduce inequalities

  • Practical examples from European projects working in rural communities and with vulnerable populations

  • What policy actions are needed to support more equitable integrated long-term care across Europe

  • How the discussion will contribute to Laurel’s policy recommendations

# Who Should Attend

This session is for:

  • Health and social care professionals
  • Researchers working on integrated care, long-term care and health inequalities
  • Policymakers, service planners and system leaders
  • Community organisations and projects supporting rural and vulnerable populations
  • Anyone interested in more equitable access to integrated long-term care across Europe

Nonprofit Driven Regional Connects: Peterborough

This series of regional gatherings is presented by the Ontario Nonprofit Network (ONN)

It’s time again for some real talk, in real life This is not your average “conference” - Nonprofit Driven Regional Connects are small gatherings with big impacts. These are opportunities for nonprofit peers to share space and ideas for our collective well-being, explore systemic solutions locally, learn more about ONN’s work, and break bread together. Our sector continues to be intentionally under-resourced and privatized, is experiencing growing legal attacks from the community for doing its critical work, and grapples with increased scrutiny and eroding public trust. To combat the current climate of deep polarization, we must invest in building relationships to help our sector and communities thrive. Regional gatherings, co-hosted in collaboration with local partners, are an ongoing exercise in movement-building, and actively shaping the future together. 💚

# What to expect:

  • Get practical data, information about policies and trends impacting nonprofits in London and across Ontario, and discuss how these are showing up in your work and communities.
  • Make connections over the issues that matter to you - engage in conversations and learn from local peers and team members from Pillar and ONN.
  • Enjoy breakfast and lunch with nonprofit colleagues.
  • After the event, all registrants will receive slides, notes, and links to resources.

# Other Regional Connects Sessions

  • London and area - June 4 - Registration is now open
  • Sault Ste. Marie-Algoma - Coming soon in October 
  • Halton region - Coming soon in November

We cannot address complex community needs alone - and we don’t have to. Join us at an event near you!

Basic Income Earth Network Congres 2026 | Basic Income and the Polycrisis: The Key to Unlocking the Puzzle

This conference is presented by the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) and Basic Income Ontario.

# Basic Income and the Polycrisis: The Key to Unlocking the Puzzle

*In Person and Virtual Conference

The BIEN Congress will officially open on August 20. All Congress participants are also invited to a half-day, pre-congress session the afternoon of August 19 focused on Canada. 

The 2026 Congress is being held as the early decades of the twenty-first century are defined by a polycrisis: the causal entanglement of multiple, overlapping crises. These pressures span interconnected systems, including the natural environment (climate disruption), the economy (inflation, unaffordability, widening income and wealth inequality, and persistent poverty), political institutions (erosion of public trust, democratic strain, and the rise of exclusionary populism and authoritarian governments), and the rights-based international order. Together, they expose the limits of fragmented welfare systems that respond to risks in isolation rather than as cumulative and systemic challenges. In this context, basic income is gaining renewed attention not only as an anti-poverty measure, but as a foundational policy for strengthening social inclusion and solidarity.

This Congress theme positions basic income as a unifying response to the polycrisis—one that cuts across policy silos and reconnects income security to broader questions of justice, sustainability, and democratic capacity. The theme invites critical examination of basic income as part of a renewed social contract capable of countering precarity, fragmentation, and exclusion in complex, interdependent systems.

# Registration fees 

# Tier 1: Organization and Academic Rate ($350 CAD)

  • This tier is designed for participants whose attendance is supported by organizations with significant resources and professional staff.
  • Who should select this tier: Representatives of governments, large non-profits, academic institutions, and corporations. This tier also applies to individuals attending independently who possess better-than-average economic means.

# Tier 2: Standard Rate ($200 CAD)

  • The standard rate supports the core costs of the Congress and is intended for those with moderate institutional or personal resources.
  • Who should select this tier: Staff from smaller non-profits with modest resources and few paid employees, as well as individuals with moderate personal incomes.

# Tier 3: Low-income Rate ($100 CAD)

  • BIEN is committed to inclusive dialogue. This reduced rate is intended to remove financial barriers to participation.
  • Who should select this tier: Individuals with limited financial resources for whom the standard rate would make participation unaffordable or cause undue hardship.
