Interest Groups
IPAC Canada encourages members to develop interest groups as a means to disseminate and share information with others who have a similar interest, and will assist members to do this.
Participants in interest groups MUST be IPAC Canada members. For more information on joining IPAC Canada, go to our Membership Information page. Membership in any of our interest groups is free to members. To join an interest group contact admin@ipac-canada.org.
Interest groups communicate via email and teleconference. The members of the interest group also meet at the IPAC Canada annual conference, and a meeting time and place will be provided for you. Meetings may also be held via webinar. For more information:
