Since 1947, The Institute of Public Administration of Canada, IPAC , has been the definitive association for public service professionals, scholars, students and other interested professionals who share a passion for excellent performance in public sector management.

Further, IPAC is Canada’s leading non-profit, professional organization supporting excellence in the public sector. IPAC enables public servants from all spheres of government, academics, consultants, and others interested in public administration to exchange ideas on trends, practices, and innovations in public administration.
