Leading up to International Development Week 2023, we’re inviting people in Canada to #GoForTheGoals in their daily lives!
What action will you take to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals? Will you bike or walk instead of driving? Reduce plastic waste? Support girls’ education through an NGO?
Tell us on social media for a chance to meet the Minister of International Development and have a tree planted in your name! We will randomly draw 2 winners, 1 from English entries and 1 from French entries. The contest runs until February 17, 2023, at 12:00 pm (ET).
