Communities of Practice are groups of people who share a common interest, set of ideas, or concerns and come together to support each other, interact, and learn together.

These communities are a great way to meet others working in public participation and engagement, extend your networks, learn from others in your profession, and share ideas and issues. Members can share resources, experiences, stories and tools and build their skills and knowledge in their particular industry.

At IAP2 Canada, we currently have 4 communities of practice available to our members:

• Equity, Diversity, Inclusion

• Indigenous Engagement

• North American Energy Sector

• Young Professionals Network

Many engagement practitioners work alone or in small groups, so these groups can provide members with valuable encouragement, support, development, and a sounding board.
