Welcome to the Wild Rose Chapter of the International Association for
Public Participation (IAP2), an organization that seeks to promote and
improve the practice of public participation in relation to individuals,
governments, institutions, and other entities that affect the public
interest in nations throughout the world. IAP2 carries out its mission
by organizing and conducting activities to:
- Serve the learning needs of members through events, publications, networking and communication technology;
- Advocate for effective public participation practices throughout the world;
- Promote a results-oriented research agenda and use research to support educational and advocacy goals;
- Provide technical assistance to improve public participation.
Wild Rose members are part of a network of P2 practitioners
throughout Alberta, across Canada and throughout the world. Ideas and
methods are shared through local programs and events, the Rosebush
newsletter, a local bi-annual conference, and our members-only site.
