Canadas World Project was a 3 years citizens dialogue that engaged Canadians in developing a new story for Canadas role in the world. The SFU Centre for Dialogue brought Canadians together for conversation on issues that define the current global environment. They then focused on how to share the results of those conversations and how to implement changes made based on the priorities the conversation participants across the country game them.

The project was not lead or funded by the Government of Canada, but rather funded and lead by individuals, businesses, international organization, and foundations who wanted to inspire citizens to author a new story for Canada. This project is a great example of how citizens can take charge and get actively engaged with the story writing of their own country oppose to soley leaving the task to their Governments to define their nation on the world stage. You can watch the documentary of the whole process it took to accomplish this amazing and innovative project at http://www.canadasworld.ca/
