Happy Canada Day!
COL proudly celebrates Canada, home to our headquarters since 1987, when the Government of Canada offered to host COL in British Columbia.
Canada’s commitment to inclusion, human rights, innovation and sustainable development continues to inspire action across the Commonwealth. We are especially grateful for Canada’s longstanding support of COL’s mission to expand access to quality learning and improve livelihoods.
Through the generous support of Global Affairs Canada, the Empowering Women and Girls project has helped advance education, gender equality and women’s and girls’ empowerment across five participating countries.

Thank you, Canada, for helping transform lives through learning.

Happy Independence Day, Rwanda!
We celebrate Rwanda’s independence and the progress being made to expand learning opportunities for all.
Across the country, teachers, learners and families are helping shape a more inclusive future for education. COL is proud to have supported Rwanda’s efforts to strengthen open, distance and technology-enabled learning — from open educational resources for teacher training and STEM education to greater family involvement in children’s learning.
COL joins in honouring Rwanda’s achievements and its continued commitment to accessible, equitable and quality education.
