The Caledon Institute periodically sponsors seminars on timely social policy issues and developments. These meetings bring together senior civil servants, academics, journalists, social advocates and social policy experts in intensive, dynamic sessions.
Participants provide input from the perspective of their particular sector or area of expertise.
Proceedings are televised on the Cable Public Affairs Channel and also published and made available to participants and others interested in social policy. In December 1993, Caledon hosted a seminar on fiscal federalism attended by constitutional and social policy experts from across Canada. The papers are available in the Caledon publication, Fiscal Federalism for the 21st Century .
