News

After six years hosting SDSN Canada, the University of Waterloo will transition hosting duties to the University of Calgary, effective July 1, 2024.

We are proud to have been the inaugural host and beyond proud of everything SDSN Canada has been able to accomplish. We believe giving other Canadian institutions the opportunity to lead SDSN Canada will strengthen the network and support the ethos of the SDGs to have distributed and diversified leadership structures.

That's a wrap for Together|Ensemble 2024! This was the sixth year of the conference, bringing together Canadians from all sectors to track the SDGs in Canada. This year marked the first time the conference was held in-person, hosted at the Balsillie School of International Affairs in Waterloo, Ontario. The conference brought together 175 delegates in person, and 600 delegates online to explore the theme of “Innovation for the SDGs”, with a focus on innovations in Sustainable Finance, Future Cities, and AI for Eco-Innovation.
