What I see for Canada’s future is…
Well, who better to answer that question than today’s youth?
With Canada celebrating its 150th birthday this year, Google Canada wants Canadian students to imagine what the next 150 years will look like. (This question, posed to my 6-year old, involves hovercrafts and robotic superheroes. I like it!)
Keeping this in mind, Google Canada is encouraging students across Canada, from Kindergarten to Grade 12, to redesign the logo for the Google.ca homepage for a day.
Looking for a little inspiration? If you’re in the GTA, join me at the Mississauga Google shop for a very special, family-friendly doodle session! On Saturday, April 29, 2017, visit the Google shop at Best Buy Heartland (6075 Mavis Rd, Mississauga) from 1:00 – 2:30pm or 3:00 – 4:30pm. We’ll have everything on hand to help your little artist create an entry for the Doodle 4 Google contest, plus a few fun surprises! Children can submit their doodle on location or finish their masterpiece at home – just remember that all submissions must be in by May 2, 2017 at 11:59pm EST.
Since we’d love to ensure there’s enough space for all, please RSVP for either Session 1 or Session 2. Come doodle with us! I’m looking forward to seeing you.
You can also follow along on social media via #googleshop for updates throughout the day. So, what does your child see for Canada’s future? Doodle 4 Google, Canada!

What a great prize! I hope a lot of kids enter because that money will be a huge help later in life!
What fun! And a great prize for the winner! I am sure they will get some great entries to choose from!
A awesome prize and a great way to get the kids involved!
This is such an amazing initiative! Love creative programs for my kids!
Kudos to Google Canada for encouraging young students to express their creativity.It’s always so fun to see a new Google Doodle on our Google homepage.
A great program for kids to get involved in.
Yes this is a great contest. It’s also do not find it believable that the finalists artistic renditions are created solely by themselves. In fact, many look like adults assisted the students in their artistic creations. I personally would love to view a few actual hand drawn creations by children, this is not what I’m viewing in the majority of submissions for the 2017 doodle 4 Google contest finalists. I understand that Google was interested in accepting computer assisted drawings as well as hand drawn but these look more like adults created them and they were all computer assisted. I actually just voted for the submissions that looked like children could have created them. If this is the future, how sad. Welcome to the age of computer technology.
I love that google is encouraging children like this!
This is a great program and I hope they continue doing it. It’s a great way to get kids to be creative and it has a great prize.
