In April 2018, communities from coast to coast will come together to celebrate science in Canada as part of the international “March for Science” movement.

This year we will celebrate, encourage, and work towards science that is for everyone.

Science isn’t just for scientists, it impacts all of us - by protecting our health and our environment, and providing us with facts and evidence to hold our governments accountable.

When scientists, whether at home or abroad, are silenced, we all suffer. When knowledge generation is underfunded or suppressed, our communities and democracies suffer. We also recognize that the benefits of science, and the opportunities to do science, are not accessible to everyone. Scientists and scientific institutions need to do better to ensure the voices of marginalized groups are amplified, and that actionable steps are taken to increase diversity within the research community.
