Elbows Up, Canada

Elbows Up, Canada! A grassroots movement for unity, culture, and civic pride. Elbows Up is a non-partisan, volunteer-led movement bringing Canadians together through storytelling, music, and community gatherings. Born out of a spontaneous rally on Parliament Hill in March 2025, it has since grown into a national campaign dedicated to celebrating what unites us—our values, our voices, and our shared future. We create spaces—both digital and in-person—where Canadians can connect across divides, elevate homegrown stories, and stand up for a more connected and hopeful country. Our events have featured voices like Jim Cuddy, Arlene Dickinson, Shaun Majumder, and mayors from across Canada, drawing thousands in cities from Ottawa to Halifax to Victoria.
