IPAC Vancouver is hosting an event intended to explore the ways governments in Canada have merging or diverging approaches to public policy. The work of public administration in Federal, Provincial, Municipal, and Aboriginal governments provides countless opportunities for collaboration on the development of policies to support the aspirations of communities and the implementation of critical infrastructure projects. Collaboration between governments can mobilize resources and improve outcomes desired by communities.
Conversely, diverging perspectives among governments on issues of common interest can create barriers to infrastructure and community or regional projects. Competing interests, budgets, visions as well as policy and legislative limitations serve to complicate collaboration and impact projects in every jurisdiction - and, in the end, have the most significant effect on citizens and their communities.
Gather for a half day of information-sharing, presentations and discussions designed to explore the ways governments in Canada have merging or diverging approaches to public policy.
This IPAC workshop will include:
* A Keynote Perspective from a Municipal Leader on Merging and Diverging Policy Perspectives;
* A panel of experts on current realities and future prospects regarding collaboration across governments to achieve policy and strategic objectives;
* Partnership Announcement between various Partners; and
* Networking Opportunities with IPAC Members and Partners.
