Canada’s Critical Infrastructure Protection at the Interface: Building Information-Sharing Capacity across Sectors and Jurisdictions

Vision

This project acknowledges shared ownership and responsibility of Canada’s critical infrastructure and seeks to enhance collaboration between citizens, industry, NGOs, government at all levels and international partners on questions concerning its management.

Mission

The primary objective of this initiative is to help create appropriate cross-sectoral and cross-jurisdictional fora in which participants can access and share diverse and expert perspectives on protecting Canada’s critical infrastructure, exploring technical as well as historic, social, political, economic and managerial issues.

The medium term goal is to ensure motivated networks will emerge better informed about the complexity of the infrastructure and the holistic approaches necessary to make the infrastructure more secure and resilient for the benefit of all Canadians.

The three projects included in this initiative represent collaboration between the School of Public Administration and the RBC Centre for Risk Management at Dalhousie’s Faculty of Management. While the initiative has a Canadian focus, the projects will endeavour to employ a rich and diverse toolkit to analyze key issues, including the use of interdisciplinary and comparative methods.


This initiative is supported by the Canada School of Public Service’s Innovative Public Management Fund.
