The Institute on Governance is an independent, Canada-based, not-for-profit public interest institution with its head office in Ottawa and an office in Toronto. Our mission is ‘advancing better governance in the public interest,’ which we accomplish by exploring, developing and promoting the principles, standards and practices which underlie good governance in the public sphere.
The IOG offers the people and organizations with whom we work:

1) A systems approach taking into account the interaction of complex systems and decision-making
2) A neutral, impartial, independent and confidential working environment for clients addressing real-time governance challenges
3) Access to a network of leading thinkers on governance, with domestic and global expertise in the government, private and non-profit sectors, as well as Indigenous and other governance areas
4) A documentation centre and access to research and development resources to enable clients to apply leading-edge practice.
