Citizens' Assembly of Canada

The Citizens' Assembly of Canada is a group of everyday citizens brought together to discuss and make recommendations on important issues, particularly about how elections are conducted. Formed in several provinces, these assemblies aim to reflect diverse perspectives and engage in thoughtful deliberation. Members are chosen randomly, allowing for a more representative dialogue. Their goal is to enhance democratic processes, improve governance, and engage the public in decision-making by providing informed recommendations that can guide policymakers. This approach embodies participatory democracy, giving a voice to ordinary citizens in shaping policy and reform.
