What is IDW?
Since 1991, IDW is held annually in the first full week of February and spotlights Canadians’ contributions to eradicating poverty and building a more peaceful, inclusive, and prosperous world. It’s a unique opportunity to inform, inspire, involve, and celebrate Canadians’ global impact on international development.
IDW represents a whole-of-Canada approach involving civil society, the private and philanthropic sectors, schools, colleges, cegeps and universities, community organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the general public. Throughout IDW, over a hundred events are hosted from coast to coast to coast in Canada.
Join us as we continue this nationwide initiative, coming together to learn, share stories, and create change for a brighter, more equitable world.
