On February 19 and 20, 2009, IPAC in collaboration with MASS LBP, the British Council and Deloitte will be hosting the Canadian Premiere of Us Now -a new British documentary about the power of mass collaboration, government and the Internet.
Join us to discuss how the internet and new collaborative tools will change how government interacts with the public and how policy development will change. This phenomena is here to stay and is part of the move to "open source" government, where the collective intelligence of citizens is mobilized to develop solutions to societal issues.
We must move away from the closed policy development methodology to one that connects with citizens.
The documentary will be screened in 4 locations across Canada:
Ottawa – February 19, 2009 from 10:30 to 12:30
Canada School of Public Service & the University of Ottawa
Toronto – February 19, 2009 from 19:00 to 21:00
