About us.

The Forge Institute is an idea that started between two sisters who often host lake-side gatherings where friends and colleagues debate the root causes of, and possible solutions to, complex societal problems.  The rules are simple.  You have to be open-minded, stay positive, focus on the opportunity and not the problem, and, you have to have a good sense of humour.     

These lively get-togethers have grown into a desire to hold the conversation in a bigger arena.  The Forge Institute is that place.  A Thinker Space.  A collaborative partnership where big ideas are shared, debate is welcomed, the answers are not all known and the lake rules still apply.        

We are looking forward to sharing with you and learning from you.  And there is always space on the dock if you drop by.
