McConnell Family Foundation, the University of Waterloo, the MaRS Discovery District, and the PLAN Institute, the initiative's ultimate goal is to support whole system change through changing the broader economic, cultural and policy context in Canada to allow social innovations to flourish.
SiG's focus will be on fostering social innovation to achieve impact, durability and scale, with key theme areas of re-engaging vulnerable populations and linking social and ecological resilience.
