Integrative Model for Policy Action

IMPACT Institute of Canada

IMPACT Institute is a non-profit community-based research organization poised to fill a national need for fresh and independent thinking about large and unsolved problems that confront Canadians in the new 21 century.

Hardships stemming from systemic racism, poverty, or other adverse experiences from social structures are examples of negative influences on a person’s well-being.

We can do better in Canada. IMPACT is committed to working with our governments and partners to explore opportunities for collaboration and exchange ideas and best practices on how to address our current challenges and build resilient communities. While we cannot stop shocks from happening, we can increase our focus on strengthening individuals and community capacities to withstand and recover from disturbances.

IMPACT Institute is grateful to its partners for their support and collaboration on Canada’s resilience and for bringing their expertise, insights, and networks to bear on  initiatives of national importance.

Our Mission

Our Vision
