About Us
GLOCAL is a grassroots initiative formed by a group of young Canadians that saw challenges in our democratic platforms and decided to help residents in Canada be globally aware and locally engaged.
We are alumni of the University of British Columbia, University of Toronto, McGill University, Simon Fraser University, McMaster University, Queen’s University, and Dalhousie University.
Our goal is to work with and support our fellow Canadians in bringing about a more inclusive, transparent, accessible, and engaging democratic participation with a global understanding.
We are honoured to become an official partner of The Consortium on Electoral Democracy/Consortium de la démocratie électorale (C-Dem), a consortium of academic, civil society, and government organizations working on strengthening the health of democracy in Canada (https://c-dem.ca/)
GLOCAL stands for:
Global vision.
Local engagement.
Open mindedness.
Creative solutions.
Adaptive leadership.
Lifelong learning
It is together that we can implement with innovation.
