Appendices Appendix A: Summary of Strategic Sessions Convening Session 1: Scaling The Scaling Scenarios session was the first session in a series of three strategic sessions that were used to develop the Participatory Canada Roadmap. The first session generated a shared understanding about what Participatory Canada aims to scale. Through the session, participants gained consensus on the desired ambition for Participatory Canada in a 10 year vision. Working backwards through time, key milestones surfaced for the 5 year and 1 year visions and their associated implementation components.

Convening Session 2: Learning The second session looked to build a common understanding of the case for a national learning architecture for Participatory Canada. This would catalyze the work of Canadian cities interested in experimenting with the Participatory City approach to co-define a set of learning mechanisms in a Canadian learning architecture to help cities achieve their goals and impact over the next 3–5 years. This was framed through three learning dimensions: 1.

How could a Participatory Canada learning architecture help accelerate the design, experimentation and application of best possible Participatory City practices at the local level to generate impact in Canadian cities?

2.

How could a Participatory Canada learning architecture help build legitimacy of the Participatory City approach, and accelerate and maximize the commitment of key potential partners in Canadian cities (i.e., government officials, community organizations, citizen collectives)?

3.

How could a Participatory Canada learning architecture help create the conditions to sustainably scale the Participatory City in Canadian cities, beyond the three prototype cities in Canada?

Convening Session 3: Financing The purpose of the Financing Scenarios Session was to help identify the last set of information required to design the Participatory Canada Roadmap. Overall, the session aimed to generate possible pathways and tools to financing a scaled Participatory Canada, including: • Identifying funders and funding appropriate for financing Participatory Canada • Discussing how funders could get interested and commit to funding, and • Selecting which financial tools would be well suited to the implementation of Participatory Canada based on the outcomes, time horizons and scale of funding required. Through the session, participants worked with two Participatory Canada Scenarios around nationally led or city led implementation leadership over 1, 3-5 and 10 year time horizons to explore the financial impacts between the two.
