On May 6, 2026 from 10 to 11 am, join Community Potential for a practical, insight-packed webinar that brings the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) down to earth, right here in Canada and Niagara.
This isn’t a theory session. It’s about how global goals are actively shaping local decisions, funding, and community impact, and how you can use them to strengthen your own work.
In this session, you’ll explore:
- How Canada’s updated, community-focused approach to the 17 SDGs is shifting the way impact is measured and supported
- How the SDGs are directly informing the Living in Niagara 2026 Quality of Life Report—and what that means for local organizations
- How to leverage Canadian SDG indicators and data to strengthen your planning and impact.
Speakers include:
- Dr. Liette Vasseur, UNESCO Chair in Community Sustainability; and faculty member, Department of Biological Sciences, Brock University
Canada’s progress on the SDGs and what’s next at the national and global level - Rachel Gillmore, Community Potential
How system mapping and collaboration are strengthening Niagara’s response to gender-based violence - Theresa Murphy, Strong Fort Erie Neighbourhoods
What it looks like to advance SDGs through access to food, personal essentials, and community connection
Whether you’re writing grants, designing programs, or thinking about long-term impact, this session will help you connect your work to a bigger picture, with tools you can actually use.
