What is IPAC

The Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC), founded in 1947, is a dynamic association of public servants, academics, and others interested in public administration. Rooted by its Regional Groups, it is a membership-based organization that creates effective knowledge networks and leads public administration research in Canada. Since the early 1990s, it has been a major player in exporting successful Canadian public sector expertise around the world.

IPAC's mission is "Dedicated to excellence in public service".

The Institute pursues its mission by:

Encouraging the highest standards of professional practice and service to the public;

Enhancing the understanding of the public sector;
Advocating the highest values and ideals of public service;
Expanding and exchanging knowledge about public administration;
Contributing to the resolution of key issues in public administration;
Promoting the education and professional development of public administrators.

In its mission to promote excellence in public service, IPAC strives to advance the theory and practice of public management and governance. It harnesses the ideas presented in its prestigious journal, magazine, books, case studies, conference events and awards to stir innovation and the creative exchange of ideas and best practices among public servants, academics and students of public administration.

IPAC determines its agenda in part through its biennial survey of deputy ministers at the federal and provincial levels, chief administrative officers of major municipalities as well as its regional groups.

IPAC is funded by its members and its projects. It has contribution and service agreements with the Government of Canada, and the Governments of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. IPAC is a registered charity.

It proudly fosters both official languages.

Our brains are easily our most important organs. Not only do they regulate all of our bodily functions, but they also give us the ability to use reason and make decisions. Should we buy private telephones or go with the ones offered by a local company? Do we want a pet dog or a pet cat? These are the sorts of decisions our brains help us make every day. But what are we to do when our brains prove inadequate to the task of making a particular decision? We turn to others to help fill in the gaps in our knowledge that are preventing us from making an informed decision.

These others that we turn to may be friends or relatives, but in dire situations where we really need to know that the advice we're getting is solid, we turn to experts like the ones here at Brain Guide. Brain Guide has an eclectic collection of experts behind it, from financial planners who know all the minute differences and their active counterparts to experienced caregivers who can tell you all about how to handle a newborn safely. We've collected their expertise together with one purpose in mind: helping you make your important decisions.

Why do we provide such a valuable service completely free of charge? We do it because the success of the human race is not due to the effects of one person laboring alone. It is due to the thousands and millions of people who have shared their expertise on everything from physics to aquarium filters with others so that their work can be built upon even after they're gone. This community spirit serves us well as a species, so we here at Brain Guide are dedicated to fostering it however we can. On the most basic level, that means sharing information.

The kind of information you'll find here will cover all topics under the sun. Whenever we get great advice from an expert, we'll pass it along to you. You might find step by step instructions on how to choose a clinic to get dental implants in Mississauga. You might find tips on how to perform real estate negotiations. You might find hints that will help you figure out why your dishwasher is broken. We're always adding more to the site, so visit often and check out all the new topics we've covered in our articles.

To get started with letting us help you guide your brain, check out the navigation tabs at the top of the page. They'll direct you to the general topic you're looking for, and from there to the specific article that will help you. If you don't see an article on the topic you're looking for, feel free to contact us and request that we consult an expert on that subject and pass their advice along to you. We're always happy to honor your requests and suggestions. That said, welcome to Brain Guide - let's get learning!
