The School of Public Policy

Our mission is to get public policy right in this country. This means strengthening Canada’s public service, and bridging the gap between business, government and academia. These are the keys to unleashing Canada's full economic potential - domestically and internationally.

We fulfill our mission by…

• Producing influential research – Our research papers and communiqués offer in-depth analysis on the most pertinent issues of the day and create specific recommendations for policy makers.
• Improving public policy discourse – We bridge the gap between business, government and academia by creating forums for communication and best-practice sharing.
• Providing a global perspective – The School of Public Policy has launched an initiative an international policy program that will become the leading program of its kind in Canada.
