The International Association of Public Participation (IAP2) Certificate training is coming to cities across Canada. The IAP2 Certificate in Public Participation, made up of three courses, will be offered in Winnipeg, Halifax and Toronto this year. If you are currently working in the field of citizen engagement, public involvement or stakeholder relations, as a relative beginner or a seasoned professional, or if you work for any level of government, the private sector or a not-for-profit organization, this Certificate Program will help to build your skills and knowledge, and it will also deliver useful and effective tools for engaging the public and for communicating public participation concepts. The modules include: Module 1 – Planning for Effective Public Participation; Module 2 – Effective Communication for Public Participation; and Module 3 – Techniques for Effective Public Participation.
