Study Tour to Canada – April 2006
From April 17 to 30, a group of 14 Ukrainian officials visited Ontario, Canada on a study tour to learn from Canada’s experience in regional governance, development, and participatory planning.

The purpose of the study tour was threefold:
1.to allow Ukrainian participants to learn from Canadian experiences with regional governance and development mechanisms, including public participation mechanisms.
2.to allow Canadian organizations and professionals to learn about Ukraine and its regional government reform activities, opening up an avenue for them to participate in future programming.
3.to determine the relevance of Ontario know-how and experiences, and those of Canada in general, to Ukraine.

The study tour took place in the Cities of Toronto, Guelph, Hamilton, and Ottawa and the Regions of Niagara and Waterloo. Participants will be meeting with Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Ontario Ministry of Public Infrastructure Renewal, Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation, and Regional Municipality of Waterloo. Some participants travelled to Ottawa to meet with Canadian International Development Agency, Foreign Affairs Canada, Western Economic Diversification, and FedNor (a part of Industry Canada). The remaining participants travelled to the City of Hamilton and the Regional Municipality of Niagara.
