About International Development Week 2026
International Development Week (IDW) is an annual initiative established in 1991. It is held during the first full week of February, in 2026 from February 1 to 7. IDW engages Canadians on global issues and offers an opportunity to pause and acknowledge Canadian contributions to global social, ecological and economic justice.

"As I strive to reach out for action and opportunities, my inspiration thrives from the act of resilience and hope that is created within local, national, and international levels, as well as the inspiration from my culture and the diverse knowledge of others. Through the sharing of each others’ personal stories that can create a message and action of hope, the resilience of anyone, no matter age or story, can step up and create a positive change."
