Governance Knowledge Hub

The IOG’s Governance Knowledge Hub is both a home for governance research and a place for governance dialogue. It offers a collaborative digital space for public sector governance practitioners, scholars, and thought leaders to think, talk, and write about Canada’s most important governance issues. The Hub serves as both a catalyst and a convener for the creation and publication of new knowledge about governance. It is practical, inclusive, evidence-based, and collaborative in developing and publishing solutions-oriented governance ideas.

The IOG Governance Knowledge Hub facilitates constructive dialogue and original research on matters related to governance in Canada. We aim to demystify governance, making it more transparent, understandable, and accessible to citizens.
