• Youth and the G-8 eDiscussion Summary

Ready?  – Summits help launch ideas and challenge all of us to find common solutions to global issues.

As president of the G-8 in 2010, Canada’s G-8 agenda focuses on development and international peace and security issues. Canada is leading a major initiative to improve the health of mothers, newborns and children under five in developing countries.

Get Set – Share your thoughts on the Muskoka G-8 Summit through our online eDiscussion. We’d like to hear your views on why the June international gathering of leaders is worth paying attention to.
