An investment in Western Canada

The Canada West Patronage brings together organizations that support independent, non-partisan, evidence-led public policy research and discussion focused on Western Canada.

Your annual investment sustains Canada West Foundation’s research capacity and creates regular opportunities to join timely, off-the-record conversations on the issues shaping Western Canada.

Join our network

Participants join a network across government, Crown corporations, business, academia, Indigenous and community organizations and industry associations. Throughout the year, the Foundation convenes invitation-only events, including closed-door sessions where patrons can test emerging ideas, compare perspectives and contribute to candid, cross-sector exchange.

Where your support goes

• Independent research on Western Canada’s priority issues
• Executive briefings that translate evidence into implications and options
• Policy roundtables and working sessions for candid, cross-sector exchange
• Private forums, which may include dinners, panels and other invitation-only events

Who joins

Canada West Patronage is for organizations that care about Western Canada and want research they can trust, with regular invitations to briefings, roundtables and other convenings focused on the region’s priorities.
