On February 27 2015, the diverse group of innovators, researchers and practitioners who participated in the Solutions Agenda e-Dialogues convened at Royal Roads University in the Centre for Dialogue to discuss strategies and approaches for guiding Canadian communities toward sustainable development. This peer-to-peer learning exchange of over 35 participants was the final step in developing the Solutions Agenda, that will outline an action agenda for Canadian decision-makers. Below is a list of participants, a slideshow presentation of 'nuggets of gold' from the e-Dialogues, and graphical notes produced from the peer-to-peer learning exchange.
