Over 2500 professionals, agencies, government officials, researchers and practitioners belong to this community. The wiki also includes the content derived from our several national Communities of Practice that hold regular calls, webinars, annual symposia and projects organized by the CoP's that each bring together over 100 people working in local agencies, school boards, police departments as well as provincial/territorial officials and university faculties. We are building "toolboxes of research, reports and educational/planning resources for each CoP. (e.g. Mental Health, Nutrition). Please add to those lists by using the "Easy Edit" tool when viewing those pages.
