The annual roundtable is a two-day conference for the membership of Canada’s Platform for disaster risk reduction which includes stakeholders from government, non-profit organizations, academia and the private sector to  meet and share information and best practices on Disaster Risk Reduction

Indeed, the Hyatt Regency Montreal will host the 7th Annual National Roundtable on DRR, on 21st and 22nd November 2016.

National ownership is built through an inclusive, participatory process.
