Century Initiative is a national, non-partisan movement shaping a bigger, bolder Canada. Through leading research and convening, we champion data-driven solutions for responsible population growth, advocate for long-term planning, and drive bold policies that secure Canada’s future. As a registered charity, our vision is a Canada that thinks and plans not just for today, but for future generations. Because prosperity takes planning.

We have built a network of more than 40 organizations—across sectors and regions—that inform, shape, and amplify our work.
Our internship and mentorship program supports emerging leaders and contributes to a new generation of systems thinkers focused on Canada's long-term prosperity. We’re proud to work with a growing community of collaborators and contributors who believe, as we do, that Canada’s best days lie ahead—with the right planning, partnerships, and resolve.
