Save the date for The Walrus Gala 2025 as we celebrate Canada’s boldest conversations, and secure the future of fact-based journalism and literary talent in this country!

The Walrus is dedicated to the exchange of ideas and conversation on matters vital to Canada. As a registered charity with an educational mandate, we are working towards a future in which Canada’s conversations are thoughtful, fact-based, and accessible to all.

Every year, The Walrus Gala raises the funds needed to power the best of Canada’s fact-based journalism and storytelling. Thanks to our sponsors and guests, we are able to keep Canada’s conversations and analyses on the issues of the moment alive and thriving, sustaining a strong, healthy democracy.

Our unique event format encourages guests to leave their tables, and mix and mingle with friends, old and new. In 2024, we enhanced the gala to emphasize more conversation and networking—put simply, fewer presentations from the stage, and more conversation! And, we raised over $500,000 to secure the future of Canada’s fact-based, independent journalism and storytelling at The Walrus.

Check out sponsors and snaps from The Walrus Gala 2024, and stay tuned for more info on our 2025 gala including our sponsorship and ticket deck. We can’t wait to host you.
