What is PowerShift 2026?

 

Sport, play and movement are foundations of thriving communities and people–not luxuries. Yet access is uneven, systems are fragmented across Canada and experiences in sport and play fall short in reaching their full potential.

It’s time for a shift.

As the world turns to Canada for the FIFA World Cup, Play for Dignity is convening a landmark, three-day summit to unleash sport as a lever for dignity, equity, and wellbeing through the power of human rights.

Why Now

 
The World Cup spotlight and the Future of Sport in Canada Commission recommendations create a generational moment to shift power, practice, and perception.

By bringing together 300 leaders from across the sport, play and movement ecosystem, we can ask bold questions, learn from lived experience and ignite a movement for change. 

Join us.
