Canada and Commonwealth Regions Benefit from Capable, Ethical Leadership

Who we are

Emerging Leaders' Dialogues Canada Inc. (ELD Canada) is a registered Canadian charity which brings together early to mid-career leaders and places them in unique one-week experiential programs to build their smarts and their ethics and become top decision makers in their organizations, communities and countries. We're multisectoral and bring together leaders from arts, education, environment, indigenous communities, unions, private and public sectors, public health, and civil society organizations.

  • participate in group challenges to test skills, assumptions and gain insights

  • present their thesis and learning's at a conference, and

  • become alumni members who act as mentors and funders
