Train, connect, and grow with Canada's foremost community of P2 and engagement professionals. World-class training, certification, and a network that drives meaningful change.
When organizations make decisions that affect people's lives - building a new park, expanding a highway, or changing school boundaries - public participation is the process of involving those people in the decision.
Instead of making decisions behind closed doors, communities are engaged to share their needs, concerns, and ideas before decisions are made.
IAP2 Canada trains and supports professionals on how to listen to communities effectively, create real opportunities for people to be heard, and ensure what the public says actually influences decisions.
We help organizations make smarter choices by listening to the people those choices affect.
