What We Do

A logo for the Policy Community Partnerships Office




We run applied community research projects to bring awareness to novel practices that can influence change in government; gather evidence on the realities of policy practitioners in the GC, provide resources and advice to expand the policy capacity in the GC; advocate for supports to community needs; and organize a range of community events — some are targeted, and some are open to anyone to connect and share experiences.  

As our community expands across policy roles, and across the GC, our research capacity grows improving connections and supports for policy practitioners.  

We can be reached at pcpo-bpcp@tc.gc.ca.
