Sixteen Canadian Destinations Join the Global Destination Sustainability Index

We are thrilled to announce the sixteen Canadian destinations that are now participating in the Global Destination Sustainability Index (GDS-Index) as part of the Canadian Business Events Sustainability Plan.

These destinations are: Banff Lake Louise, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Kelowna, Montreal, Niagara Falls, Ottawa, PEI, Quebec City, Saskatoon, St. John's, Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, and Winnipeg.

Launched in the spring of 2022, Destination Canada's Canadian Business Event Sustainability Plan is a first-of-its-kind national program aimed at improving the economic, socio-cultural, and environmental sustainability practices of business events hosted in Canada.

Aligned with the mission and vision of the plan, the GDS-Index cements Destination Canada's position as a global leader in business event sustainability and positions Canadian destinations as changemakers accelerating progress toward the industry's 2050 net-zero targets.

We are proud to be part of this initiative and look forward to working with our partners and stakeholders to ensure a sustainable future for the business events industry in Canada.
