Mobilizing Local Action for Global Impact

Together|Ensemble: Mobilizing Local Action for Global Impact

Wednesday, April 29, 2026

We are thrilled to join this May in Calgary for the Together|Ensemble conference, Canada’s leading conference for collaborating and accelerating progress on the Sustainable Development Goals.

Each year, this “all of society” conference brings together delegates from across Canadian sectors and organizations to focus on advancing the SDGs in Canada. This year the focus is on Mobilizing Local Action for Global Impact, localizing SDGs action within communities to effect lasting global change.  

Our team will be at the conference leading a panel spotlighting local SDGs stories from across the country as well as delivering a workshop on community systems change.

Join us in Calgary (in-person and online) on May 19th and 20th for Canada's leading conference on the Sustainable Development Goals!
