Abstract

The pandemic is forcing Canadians to re-examine civil society’s place in addressing social problems. The government of Alberta has recently launched a Premier’s Charities Council to explore partnering with community groups, giving them improved capabilities to deliver programs and services and reducing bureaucratic clutter. Another aim is to explore leveraging civil society during COVID and recovery. This focus presents a good time to probe where the line between government and civil society ought to be drawn.
