Canada is facing some big challenges between now and our 150th birthday, in 2017.

Tell us your bold idea to confront these challenges and you could win a chance to present it to progressive Canadian thinkers and doers in Montreal this March 26-28.

We’re choosing the best idea in English and in French, flying the winners to Montreal, putting them up in a hotel, giving them a conference pass and asking them to make their pitch.

We are looking for a 2-minute YouTube video OR a 500-word essay in English or in French that:

• Identifies a problem facing Canadians
• Offers a solution to one of the big challenges facing Canada now and in 2017
• Is an idea that is convincing and focused, with specific ideas that will contribute to a national discussion
• Is non-partisan, respectful, and contains no foul language

Please note: submission may be edited. If your bold idea is posted on the website you are considered a finalist for the contest.

The contest closes March 8th. Our conference Co-Chairs will chose the winners and announce them on March 11th. Enter now!
