Membership Benefits & Services
One of the biggest benefits of being a member of IAP2 is summed up by one longtime member: “the chance to hang out with other P2 folks”. IAP2 Canada members are a diverse community of professionals, citizens, academics, and decision-makers who are committed to involving the public in decisions that affect them. As the pre-eminent organization for public participation and public engagement in Canada, IAP2 Canada offers a unique opportunity to meet, communicate with and share “war stories” with others who “get” P2 – both across Canada and around the world.
