SDG Town Hall & More Ways To Contribute to Canada’s 2030 Agenda National Strategy
WGSI is pleased to announce our participation in the Government of Canada's consultations on Canada’s national strategy to achieve Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For more ways to contribute, see our blog.
The SDG Town Hall, a partnership with Sustainable Development Solutions Network of Canada (SDSN Canada), TakingITGlobal, and Youth Climate Lab, is a student-focused engagement on the SDGs at university and college campuses across Canada. The SDG Town Hall will work to develop policy recommendations for the Government of Canada as they develop a National Strategy for the implementation of the SDGs. The SDG Town Hall recommendations will also inform future directions for SDSN Canada, including how we can support a post-secondary ecosystem for student-led activation around the SDGs.
This digital engagement will be followed by three in-person Policy Jams hosted across the country at SDSN Canada member institutions: the University of Waterloo, Simon Fraser University, and l’Université de Laval. Input from both the Virtual Town Hall and the Policy Jams will contribute towards the creation of a White Paper to be submitted to the Government of Canada to inform the creation of Canada’s forthcoming National Strategy on SDG Implementation.
