Hi there,

Thank you to everyone who joined us on this month's Municipal Government Representative Community of Practice on Tuesday, June 11. During this call, we had Sean McIntyre presenting on Toronto's Lived Experience Advisory Group, and the city's engagement with people with lived/living experience.

The meeting notes and the powerpoint slides are now available online.

Take your Learning Further:

• Review the attached Terms of Reference
• Check out the TEN guide to engaging people with lived/living experience
• Read Toronto's case study on engaging those with lived/living experience in municipal strategy making

Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 13 from 1-2pm ET.  

Topic: How are municipalities evaluating their impact and communicating this with stakeholders?

Please let me know if you are interested in presenting on this topic, or would like to chair, by June 25th.

You should already have outlook calendar invites for the meetings for the remainder of the year

We hope you are able to join us next time. In the meantime, please reach out to me with any further questions.
