About the Innovate Council Canada
Our Mission
The Innovate Council Canada connects senior leaders from the public sector, private enterprise, and community organizations to foster innovation, encourage community collaboration, and address common needs and challenges. We begin by engaging in local discussions with leaders from government, industry, and community organizations, seeking opportunities for leadership networking to address needs and improve service delivery. Our ultimate goal is sparking innovation across Canada.
This is a two year initiative, with a goal to recognize 150+ leaders across Canada who have employed innovation for the betterment of their community.

Innovate Council Canada are making a public call for nominations of innovators within governments across the country. We are looking to recognize individuals, departments, and/or entire governments where innovation has been successfully employed for the betterment of the community.
The Innovate Challenge Award will provide national exposure to the success story and amplify the innovation that is happening in local, regional, First Nations, and provincial governments, often by faceless leaders who are making life in Canada better, more affordable, or accessible.
