SDG Month Canada at Queen's

Queen's participates in #SDGMonthCanada throughout March! Scroll to view the event calendar.

 SDG Month Canada is a national collaboration that invites universities and colleges to organize workshops, panels, and interactive programming to increase awareness of and engagement with the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals. 

 Led by Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Canada, events are organized independently by participating campuses and meant to draw on diverse disciplinary perspectives to unpack challenges and solutions related to advancing the SDGs.

 At Queen’s, the Principal’s Office organizes an SDG Month at Queen’s Event Calendar (below) to promote learning, teaching, and networking opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Anyone planning an SDG-related event or activity at Queen’s in March is invited to submit the details to be included in the event listings.
