Century Initiative has set an aspirational goal of achieving a population of 100 million people by 2100. But growth is only part of this vision. We must grow well and this means building the infrastructure that will be needed for 100 million people to call Canada home and closing critical gaps in outcomes based on race, gender, Indigeneity, and immigration status.
To achieve this vision, we will need to work collaboratively with cities, provinces, territories and Indigenous people. A bigger Canada tomorrow starts with bold action today. Help us spread the word on the importance of growing well with our Toolkit. Share these important facts and insights with your networks and keep coming back! The toolkit will be updated regularly.
Here you will find quick facts and resources that you can easily download or share directly on any platform.
Century Initiative’s National Scorecard provides a broad look at the country’s successes, as well as areas that need more attention in order to grow well into the future. The scorecard is a kind of barometer that helps us understand where we are and where we need to go in the future to close important gaps. Our findings show that while Canada is performing well in key areas, there are others where attention and action are needed.
