Our recent webinar on Decolonizing Your Curriculum was hosted online, bringing faculty from across Canada together to explore approaches and best practice in decolonization in post-secondary classrooms.

SDG Week Canada is a national collaboration from March 6-10, 2023 featuring workshops, panels, and other interactive programming to increase awareness of and engagement with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on university and college campuses.
At the Rio+20 Summit a decade ago, the UN member states launched a process to develop a set of Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ) to put the world on the path to sustainable development that combines economic wellbeing, social justice, and environmental sustainability. We are now in the midst of the great global effort to create a global path to sustainable development that “leaves no one behind.”
Together| Ensemble 2022 was the fourth, since 2017, in a series of symposia and conferences of Canada’s diverse and growing all-of-society community dedicated to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The three-day online event was energized by an impressive mix of 26 sessions, more than 110 speakers and 700 attendees. This included a full day of dynamic side events organized by leading SDGs groups from across Canada.
The 2022 SDSN Canada annual Members Meeting was hosted online in June 2022 using Zoom. A total of 33 participants joined, representing 20 Canadian post-secondary institutions.
Last week, SDSN Global released its annual Sustainable Development Report ranking every country on its action and progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This year, Canada fell from 21st to 29th in the rankings.
We are pleased to launch a new "Teaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)" Community of Practice for faculty members across the SDSN Canada membership. This initiative aims to convene faculty to share their SDGs teaching innovations, approaches, and resources, as well as to create collaborative opportunities to work together to accelerate SDGs education across Canada.
