The IOG is Canada’s independent organization dedicated to advancing and applying good public governance.

We work here – at the good governance centre – where public institutions, public servants, and the public interest come together.

We offer public servants courses and leadership programs to help them succeed.

We advise on applying good governance practices and processes to improve public institutions’ performance.

We convene and collaborate on good governance ideas and practices.

Public institutions and public servants working in the public interest are the three foundations of good public sector governance.
