Jun 5, 2026: Great Canadian Disaster Inject One

Fri, 01 May 2026 09:54 -0400

The Amazing Canadian Exercise is a national resilience challenge designed to exercise how businesses, communities, and households across Canada respond to complex, cascading disruptions.

Built around a realistic cyberattack national power failure, the exercise moves beyond traditional continuity testing to examine decision-making under uncertainty, where infrastructure, technology, workforce capacity, public trust, and social stability are all under pressure at once.

Its purpose is to stress-test real-world resilience, expose critical interdependencies, and strengthen leadership, coordination, and recovery decisions in line with 2025 risk realities.

By engaging organizations and communities in a shared national scenario, the exercise reinforces that resilience is a collective capability—and a critical requirement for Canada’s future.

Join us for the first inject of the Great Canadian Disaster.

Nov 12, 2026: 2026 Annual Symposium

Wed, 13 May 2026 16:45 -0400

Join Canada’s leading community of business continuity, disaster recovery, cyber resilience and risk management professionals at the DRI Canada Symposium 2026, taking place Thursday, November 12, 2026, in Gatineau, Quebec. Building on the momentum of our 2025 theme, “One Country, One Network,” this year’s Symposium brings together senior practitioners, government leaders, academics and emerging professionals from across the country for a full day of insight, collaboration and practical learning.

The 2026 program will explore the risks and realities reshaping resilience in Canada, including cyber threats, AI-enabled disruption, supply chain instability, climate-driven emergencies, geopolitical uncertainty and evolving regulatory expectations. Through expert-led presentations, interactive discussions and real-world case studies, attendees will gain actionable strategies and lessons learned from organizations navigating today’s increasingly complex operating environment.

Proudly hosted in Canada’s National Capital Region, the Symposium is a fully bilingual event — un événement bilingue — with sessions, materials and networking opportunities offered in both English and French. Whether you are an experienced certified professional, a public-sector emergency management leader, a private-sector resilience professional, or new to the field, the Symposium offers valuable content, meaningful connections and perspectives from across Canada.

More than just a conference, the DRI Canada Symposium is one of the country’s premier networking events for resilience professionals. Extended networking breaks, lunch, and an evening reception create opportunities to reconnect with colleagues, exchange ideas and build new professional relationships.

DRI-certified attendees may earn Continuing Education Activity Points (CEAPs) toward credential maintenance, and certificates of attendance are available upon request.

Early-bird rates, member pricing and group discounts are available. Register today and join the conversations shaping the future of resilience in Canada.

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 14:18 -0500

Instructor: Ann Wyganowski

Organizations today are confronted by a wide range of cyberattacks, and your organization is no exception. There are countless opportunities for hackers to cause massive disruptions, all of which will require a response that will involve you. That’s why this course is an absolute must. More than just another statement of the problem, Cyber Resilience for the Business Continuity Professional is an information-packed three-day experience that will provide an understanding of how to address cyber disruptions within a business continuity framework.

You’ll discover how business continuity and cybersecurity must integrate within every organization, using the five elements of cyber resilience: prepare/identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. Collectively, these concepts and the resulting action plans will help to develop a strategy to effectively respond to unforeseen events and get your organization back up and running as quickly as possible. These two traditionally separate functions must work together, and with this course, you’ll be able to take steps to make that happen in your organization. Doing so will streamline well-coordinated identification and response to attacks or data breaches, minimize costs, protect the organization’s reputation, and give you the professional advantage of bringing the most current information and skills to the table.
