Cities connect people.

Amplifying diverse voices and perspectives in Canadian policymaking is an important part of our mission to eliminate systemic racism in Canada.

When new generations are given an inside perspective on municipal decision-making, it doesn’t just launch impactful careers. It lifts up entire communities, and helps cities across the country reflect and serve their populations more effectively.

Through this program, fellows get the opportunity to work directly with mayors, city councillors, and senior administrative leaders, gaining insights into the inner workings of municipal governance.

Do you work for a municipality? Are you interested in hosting a fellowship?
