Setting up a (CoP) Community of practice

Ongoing projects

Project exploration on libraries and social supports

This collaborative project aims to strengthen the role of public libraries as community access points to social services and support resources. In collaboration with our research and evaluation partner (SRSA), we explored an idea that recognizes how libraries are increasingly responding to the complex needs related to mental health issues, homelessness, substance abuse, and unmet basic needs.

This project aims to better understand, support, and test practical models that enable libraries to adapt to these realities while maintaining safe and inclusive environments for staff and users.

D’accord pour Dakar

This project is an educational exchange trip bringing together youth from Ottawa to Senegal during the Youth Olympic Games. (November 1–13, 2026)

Participants will engage in cultural and educational activities, like musical showcases, school-based workshops, and reporting for a youth blog.

They will also have the opportunity to meet young people from around the world, share their cultures, and strengthen their sense of belonging to a global community committed to a more united and inclusive world.

Ottawa, Towards a Learning City

This project aims to prepare and submit Ottawa's application to join the UNESCO’s Global Network of Learning Cities, following the example of Edmonton, the only Canadian city to have received this designation.

Position Ottawa as a city where lifelong learning becomes a reality, enabling every citizen—at all ages—to learn, contribute, and thrive, thereby strengthening the city’s community, cultural, and economic vitality.

Online Discoverability for our community initiatives

Discoverability is now a key issue. It is essential to improve access to information about projects led by our communities by increasing their presence on online platforms particularly on Wikipedia, and Wikidata.

This initiative is part of a broader effort to share knowledge and support knowledge transfer. It aims to increase the visibility of our local organizations and highlight the important work they carry out on a daily basis.

Led by youth, this educational project fosters civic engagement, strengthens connections with local organizations, and raises awareness about misinformation and how to address it.

From Hand to Hand – Youth Employability Program through Skills Training

A pilot project developed in partnership with citizens, local businesses, and community centers, aimed at building a learning neighborhood focused on hands-on skills and experiential learning.

The program enables youth to discover the skilled trades in their community through practical workshops and business immersions, supporting career exploration, the recognition of practical know-how, and the development of a strong, sustainable community.
