Inclusive and Meaningful Participation

This theme is about involving a wide range of people and communities in decision-making, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued. Importance is placed on creating accessible platforms for participation, fostering genuine dialogue, and integrating public input into policies, programs, services and initiatives, making it easier for people to get involved in government decision making. It goes beyond consultation by ensuring that participation leads to tangible results that reflect the interests, needs, and rights of all Canadians.
