Welcome to the new engagement site for members of the IAP2 BC and Yukon Chapter!

Our goal is to offer a space where members can convene and share their experiences, challenges, opportunities, and discuss where the practice of public participation is heading. Connect with fellow practitioners online, and read what others are saying!

Use the tabs below and contribute to conversations about the P2 practice so we can learn and engage with one another.

We plan to introduce new topics regularly, and try different tools for you to interact and connect with other members. Let us know if you have a question to pose to other engagement professionals, or other suggestions for the site. Email us at memberservices@iap2.bc.ca
