March 2008 to March 2009 The Caledon Institute is pleased to lead a 13-month project focused upon the creation of a pan-Canadian community of practice with a primary interest in community-government collaboration on policy. A partnership has been set up among five communities, the Caledon Institute of Social Policy and representatives from Carleton University and the University of Ottawa in order to document selected policy measures related to economic and social well-being. The project provides an opportunity to combine community knowledge and experience with policy development processes in order to improve, over the longer term, policy and program outcomes. The five local partners are the Community Services Council Newfoundland and Labrador, Santropol Roulant (Montréal), the Hamilton Roundtable on Poverty Reduction, the Community-University Institute for Social Research (Saskatoon) and the City of Red Deer. Participants are taking part in learning sessions which focus on effective methods of collaborating with government around policy work. In addition, they are engaging in online conversations about various examples of collaborative work and are contributing to the ongoing policy monitoring process. The project will generate two major products: a web-based policy tracking document and a bilingual manual on community-government collaboration. The project is being supported through the Social Development Partnerships Program of Human Resources and Social Development Canada. This portion of the Caledon site provides a resource area. Visitors are encouraged to contact Anne Makhoul at the Caledon Institute (makhoul@caledoninst.org) with suggestions for publications which extend and enrich this material.
