In Canada, over 1300 classrooms participated in Global Action Week learning and activities throughout spring 2007. The CGCE received beautiful paper chains from classrooms from BC to Nova Scotia and points in between. Many of the chains made their way to Germany for the G8 meeting, where they were displayed with other paper chains from students around the world. Two Canadian MPs visited classrooms, while a dozen more attended the Canadian Teachers' Federation's annual Breakfast with Parliamentarians.

Over 3000 Canadians"Joined Up!" in the World's Longest Chain online to deliver their message of solidarity to world leaders.
