Connexions Calendar

National Forum of the Public Policy and Third Sector Inititative


November 20, 2009 to November 21, 2009


The theme of the Ninth Annual National Forum of the PPTSI, which is "Assessing the Impact of Community and Voluntary sector activity - How are we measuring up?", focuses on some of the challenges of going beyond measuring inputs, activities, and outputs, in order to ascertain the end results. There will also be a discussion on the establishment of indicators, data collection, and analysis. The conference itself is organized around three key areas: poverty reduction, immigrant resettlement services and recreation, and health and wellbeing.
This year's keynote speaker will be the Honourable Roy J. Romanow, chair of the Institute of Wellbeing Advisory Board and will share the Institute's experiences in identifying the factors which shape our quality of life.
Please sign up early, as registration is limited.
