Pan Canadian Park Mentorship Program
Built on the work of CoalitionWILD and the IUCN Global Mentorship Program, as well as the significant desire for parks professionals to connect across jurisdiction and across Canada, the Canadian Parks Collective connects parks and protected areas professionals, academics, and practitioners as mentors, mentees, or co-mentors (peer-to-peer). This free, year-long program requires participants to commit to a pre- and post-mentorship webinar, a (minimum) monthly call with their mentor/mentee, and participation in an online forum on CPCIL.ca.
Program applications are due June 15 of each year. Program begins in July.
