The Healthy World Conference will take an interactive and dialogue-forward approach to unpack the interconnected nature of health, gender and climate resilience. Held from May 14 to 15 on the traditional territory of the Kanien’kehà:ka Nation, also known as Montréal, Quebec, we will bring together key actors and thought leaders to critically examine how climate, health and gender transformative actions can be more effectively integrated into our work.

Congratulations to all involved and engaged in last week’s International Development Week activities! CanWaCH was pleased to partner with Bigger Than Our Borders, Cooperation Canada, ONE and Results Canada for a vibrant evening reception hosted by the parliamentary Global Cooperation Caucus. Prior to the reception, our CEO Julia Andersion spoke to the caucus, stressing the need for Canada to demonstrate steady and focused leadership and build upon Canada’s commitments across successive governments to advancing the health and rights of women and children globally.
To mark the end of the week, CanWaCH spent an evening at the launch of “Through My Eyes: Art for Development”, an art exhibition showcasing unique perspectives of how the Sustainable Development Goals impact communities all over the world. The exhibition will be travelling across Canada so be sure to keep up with WUSC to find out when it’s in your area. Based in Toronto? Meet artists from Malawi and participate in a hands-on art night, today, February 15!
