SDG 16

Examples of UN SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions in Action

SDG 16 aims to promote peaceful, just, and inclusive societies by reducing violence, ensuring equal access to justice, and building effective, accountable institutions. It focuses on strengthening the rule of law, combating corruption, protecting human rights, and increasing the participation of marginalized groups in decision-making processes. Achieving this goal means creating transparent, accountable systems that serve all people, ensuring safety, and upholding fundamental freedoms. SDG 16 envisions societies where peace and justice are accessible to everyone, contributing to the creation of strong institutions that foster trust and equity.

Imagine this space transformed into a vibrant community hub through murals co-created by local youth, collaborative art installations, or even a flexible area for community theatre or dance workshops.

Get Involved!

The Nuclear Waste Management Organization is inviting residents and land users in the area of Canada's proposed Deep Geological Repository for used nuclear fuel to participate in a Diet and Land-Use Survey. The information collected will help inform local perspectives as the project moves through the federal regulatory process.

The survey can be completed online or through an in-person interview at the Ignace Learn More Centre. It is open until September 7, 2026, and participants will have the opportunity to enter a draw to win one of twenty C$125 gift cards redeemable at local businesses.

ART BORUPS CORNERS SOCIETY

Art Borups Corners is a non-profit arts incubator based in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario. We bring artists, youth, and local residents together through hands-on creative projects, workshops, and storytelling rooted in everyday life in the North. Our focus is on making space for people to try things, share skills, and build confidence through art that grows out of where they live.


We’re also a place for testing ideas and working across different ways of making — from land-based practice to digital work and everything in between. Much of what we do happens through partnerships and shared projects, connecting local creative work with wider conversations while keeping things grounded, practical, and community-led.
