Partnership to Advance the Goals
Lakehead University recognizes the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals requires cross-sector collaboration. Success is dependent on a collective working together to advance solutions through sharing of resources, knowledge and expertise, and development of innovative partnerships to advance pioneering solutions to these global challenges. Lakehead University supports the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals through collaboration and partnership between institutions, government, industry, community and Indigenous partners, through stewardship, and ongoing publication of data and evidence.
COMMITMENT TO PARTNERING FOR SOCIAL IMPACT
Lakehead University’s Strategic and Academic Plans both include commitments to social responsibility, partnership, and to advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Lakehead University is dedicated to improving and enriching the lives of Canadians by working as connectors and catalysts, bringing together stakeholders from communities, other educational institutions, governments, and the private sector in Canada and around the world to create positive change. Lakehead has a central role to play in tackling both local and global challenges to foster a resilient and equitable future. Strong communities are the driving force of a sustainable society and a crucial part of achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
To this end, Lakehead University, as a member of Universities Canada, has made an explicit commitment to the Universities Canada Social Impact Principles and remains committed to being an active champion of advancing work in support of the SDGs through teaching and learning, and by engaging in innovative projects on our campuses, in our communities and across the country and through global collaborations.
The Universities Canada Social Impact Principles complement Universities Canada’s Principles on Indigenous Education and Inclusive Excellence Principles.
