Why are digital natives not included in Canada's digital policy? Young people speak up

The inaugural Canada Youth Internet Governance Forum welcomed young people from coast-to-coast-to-coast, with a grant from CIRA covering the cost of travel for many.

Why It Matters

Young people feel they are underrepresented in crafting legislation around technology, telecommunications, data privacy and internet policy. Having grown up with and around the internet, their voices are critical to the development of an equitable and accessible internet.

Youth are not meaningfully involved or consulted in technology and internet policy discussions, which has accessibility disadvantages for Canada.
