A throwback to when SENgage went virtual. 💻

In 2020, students across the country continued connecting with senators through online events directly from their classrooms. These experiences created new opportunities to ask questions, share ideas and learn about Canada’s parliamentary democracy.

Virtual programming remains an important part of SENgage today!

Small- and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are the backbone of the Canadian economy, and the country’s long-term growth depends on their success.

The Senate Committee on Banking, Commerce and the Economy found that many promising Canadian businesses can’t access the financing they need at home. As they seek funding elsewhere, Canada risks losing companies, talent and innovation that could drive future economic growth.

The committee is calling for changes to help more businesses scale up, compete globally and keep their success stories in Canada.

🏛️ If there is a single structure that symbolizes Canadian democracy, it’s the Peace Tower.

Rising above Parliament Hill, this iconic landmark — with its giant clock and 53-bell carillon — has been part of the national capital’s skyline for nearly a century. While it was initially called the Victory Tower during its construction, it was officially named the Peace Tower in recognition of Canada’s hope for lasting peace after the First World War.

As the Peace Tower approaches its 100th anniversary in 2027, learn more about the features that have made it instantly recognizable at home and around the world.
