If you live in the Greater Toronto Area, visit the Best Buy store in Heartland (Mississauga) on Saturday, June 17th from 1PM to 6PM.

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.

In addition to bragging rights, the winning student will also receive a $10,000 university scholarship, a Google Chromebook, and a $10,000 technology award for their current school – along with a trip to the final event on June 13, 2017! Submit a doodle now.

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!
