In 2002, Canada25 turned its attention to Canadians cities, and how they can better attract talent and retain young talent and become engines of economic development. “Building Up” is our answer to this question.

“Building Up” contributes to the national debate on cities by (1) raising points for open and constructive debate to encourage dialogue; (2) drawing implications by articulating policy directions to help Canadian cities become magnets for talent and (3) identifying specific initiatives to translate talk into action.

Ultimately, “Building Up” offers an exhilarating vision of great Canadian cities, one that will require a concentrated effort from all sectors of society. With this report, Canada25 is pleased to lay the foundation for construction, and we will continue to move forward to make change happen.

“Building Up” represents the collective work of more than 350 outstanding young Canadians.
