Never has collaboration been more important for our future

We are dedicated to making a difference through our research and sharing our work as it is happening on the ground. This space is dedicated to the co-production of useful knowledge to enable people to make more sustainable choices in their day-to-day decisions. As it takes many minds to uncover solutions to today’s wicked problems, this space encourages collaboration and welcomes multiple perspectives.

Innovative community initiatives are occurring everywhere across Canada. Whether you are designing new projects or redesigning existing environments to function more sustainably, we invite you to share your ideas as they are being developed as well as your contact information, so that other innovators can connect with you and learn more about your work. Our aim is to uncover more innovations, stimulate collaboration, and make connections to accelerate greater action in local communities.

Not sure what to share? Check out Building a Better Canada, an interactive map featuring websites working to elicit positive change in social justice, the environment, and democracy. This project aims to increase density and centrality of ideas and voices, and encourages collaboration by identifying who is working where and where the interconnections lie. It is impossible for any one group to identify all the wonderful work that is happening and by developing an illustrative map, we hope others will add their knowledge and make it more comprehensive.

This is a dynamic space that will grow and gain more features as the site evolves. In the meantime, click on the "share" drop-down menu to view policy papers, a solutions agenda, e-Dialogues, and videos from our research.
