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.

The Together|Ensemble conference is Canada’s largest conversation on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This year's conference took place online from March 2-4, 2022 and featured critical conversations on climate action in Canada, systems change in local government, reconcili-action, and pathways for progress on the SDGs.

We were pleased to co-host our most recent SDGs Localization Community of Practice session on Academic Partnerships for the SDGs on February 22nd, 2022. The event featured a great discussion from academic and municipal leaders on their experiences developing and nurturing these collaborative relationships.

The SDSN Canada Winter 2022 Update is available now, featuring:

Together|Ensemble is Canada’s national conference devoted to tracking progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The conference represents an all-of-society approach to addressing Canada’s toughest sustainable development challenges, bringing together the private sector, academia, government, and civil society.

We are excited to extend a warm welcome to our newest network members!

Four academic institutions have joined the SDSN Canada network since December, and they are all dedicated to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through research, collaboration, student engagement, and more.

SDSN Canada is proud to support the launch of a video series promoting the Sustainable Development Goals and its implementation in Waterloo, Ontario. The 11-part video series brings together faculty from the University of Waterloo and staff from the City of Waterloo to discuss sustainable development topics and projects within the city.

We are so excited to work with our new SDG Coordinators to show how #YouthCAN2030!
