World Telecommunication and Information Society DayWorld Telecommunication and Information Society Day seeks to raise global awareness about the various aspects of the internet and the broader impact of digital communication technology on societies and economies. The observance aims to help reduce the digital divide by promoting access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) for all, as well as bridging the gap between the developed and developing countries in terms of access to technology and its infrastructure. It also encourages reflection and discussion on how innovative ICTs can contribute towards the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. WTISD finds its roots in the creation of World Telecommunication Day by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which was first celebrated on May 17th, 1969. This day marks the anniversary of the signing of the first International Telegraph Convention in 1865, laying the groundwork for global telecommunication networks. Later, in 2005, the United Nations declared May 17th as World Information Society Day to celebrate the importance of a digitally connected society. In 2006, these days were combined by the ITU to form World Telecommunication and Information Society Day. Canada actively participates in the observance of WTISD by recognizing the importance of innovation in the telecommunication and information sectors. This day aims to create opportunities for developing communities, advancing digital literacy, and fostering collaboration between government, the private sector, and civil society. As a member of ITU, Canada encourages its citizens and organizations to engage in discussions and celebrate the potential of ICTs in building a more sustainable and inclusive future for all. WTISD is observed annually on May 17th. Facts about World Telecommunication and Information Society Day
