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 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 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 Participatory Canada, including: •
Participatory Canada
• Discussing how funders could get interested and commit to funding, and •
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
