The Mowat Centre

After ten years of impacting Ontario’s and Canada’s public policy landscape, the Mowat Centre is ceasing operations today.

We are proud of the contributions we have made and thank all the leaders, researchers and staff who were part of it. We wish them all success as they continue to make important contributions to Ontario and Canada.

We also thank our partners and supporters who helped make our work happen. We especially thank the University of Toronto, first through the School of Public Policy and Governance and then through the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, for providing our home and support over the years.

But most of all, we thank you, our thousands of subscribers and readers for your continued support and interest in our work.

While Mowat is closing its doors today, our work will continue to be publicly available, and our research hubs, Mowat NFP and the Research Initiative on Education and Skills (RIES), will continue to operate. Here are the details:

ACCESSING MOWAT'S PAST WORK

The Munk School will continue to host our website and all the research content therein. https://munkschool.utoronto.ca/mowatcentre/

Our reports will soon be available through the University of Toronto’s TSpace repository as well.

MOWAT NFP

Mowat NFP continues to conduct research on the social sector. A new website has been launched, and work on moving to a new permanent operational home is ongoing.

In the UK and US, evidence institutions already have a proven track record of strengthening evidence-informed policymaking & service delivery. MowatNFP draws the lessons Canada can learn from this, and spotlights promising initiatives in Canada: https://mowatcentre.ca/committing-to-action/ …

PSE students have been increasingly combining education and employment to enhance skills (and not just to manage costs). We summarize what descriptive statistics from 's latest LISA data tell us about students’ work experiences while in PSE: https://mowatcentre.ca/combining-school-and-work/
