The COVID-19 pandemic exposed serious weaknesses in our public institutions across the federation. As we emerge from the biggest health crisis in a century, this first ever national conference will explore lessons learned and paths forward.
The Institute on Governance (IOG) and the Centre of Excellence on the Canadian Federation at the Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP) are partnering to convene Resilient Institutions: Learning from Canada’s COVID-19 Pandemic – a conference on making Canada’s public institutions and governance more agile and adaptable.
Focusing on institutions of health, federalism, public service and democracy, the conference will bring together up to 150 of Canada’s leading policy thinkers and practitioners to examine how decisions were made during the pandemic; investigate what lessons can be drawn; and explore the relationships critical to rebuilding trust and improving services for Canadians.
The pandemic radically altered Canadians’ expectations of our public institutions. This national conference focused exclusively on drawing lessons from Canada’s COVID-19 experience will contribute to building resilient public institutions and governance structures to better serve Canada in the future.
