Innovation at its Best - two Gold Winners is a First
Victoria, August 30, 2011 – The Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC) for the first time since the inception of its public sector Innovative Management Award handed out two gold awards to iconic Canadian organizations - The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the National Film Board of Canada. Effective leadership of public sector organizations improves our quality of life and global standing as a nation. Yet, the value of public leadership as a contributor to our standard of living is not widely recognized and celebrated. In fact, all too often, the public discourse tends to focus on project failures, rather than acknowledge the positive contributions that are made every day by innovative and high performing public sector organizations. Help us recognize by sharing their story. What stood out for the jury in assessing this year’s 80 plus submissions was their direct impact on Canadians. The 2011 IPAC Innovative Management Award recognizes organizations that have shown new and innovative ways of cutting across the bureaucratic and jurisdictional boundaries to address complex issues facing society. The finalists are rewriting how public service works and how it’s perceived - directly and positively affecting Canadians in the process. These were projects with vision that succeeded by sharing knowledge, and thinking outside of the box. The IPAC Innovative Management Awards were presented today at IPAC’s 63rd Annual Conference in Victoria. This conference has brought together over 500 public servants from all orders of government, and academics from around the world to share knowledge and celebrate the greatest accomplishments of the Canadian public sector. |

The Guardian: Perspectives on the Ministry of Finance of Ontario
The Guardian: Perspectives on the Ministry of Finance of Ontario, edited by Professor Patrice Dutil, outlines the evolution of the Ontario Ministry of Finance between 1961 and 2003. The volume includes essays from Canadian scholars and public service practitioners that profile the ministry as it raised revenue, developed capacity, constructed budgets, interacted with other organizations and built a modern Ontario. The Guardian illustrates the interplay of politicians, bureaucrats, ideas, institutions and the lessons learned from a ministry that has been the guardian of the public purse and a priority setter of government.
