The program generates more than , social media impressions annually.

We explicitly prioritize inclusion and Reconciliation in the selection of Action Canada Fellows so as to represent the diversity of Canada. The Fellowship has created a unique and unparalleled platform for emerging leaders to build bridges of understanding, connection and collaboration, in an initiative that has wide ranging positive impacts for Canadians. Each year, Fellows are inspired by a critical policy issue that they examine over the Fellowship year. Working in teams, Fellows select, analyze and research an important question under the theme.

They confer with national experts, establish partnerships with stakeholders, and publish a policy report that feeds innovative ideas into the public policy ecosystem. This will be presented at the Final Conference in March Selected Fellows must attend the entirety of each study tour as well as the planned virtual sessions between the tours.
