The Canadian Cultural Observatory has renewed its contract with IFACCA to produce ConnectCP Canada for another year. This will enable Canadian users of Culturescope.ca (the Observatory's website) to continue searching in both English and French for Canadian cultural policy experts on ConnectCP.
ConnectCP(www.connectcp.org), an initiative of IFACCA, is an international online database of cultural policy experts. It consists of profiles that outline experts’ experience, current interests, and other information relevant to their work in cultural policy. The international database currently contains over 500 profiles of experts from 78 countries. ConnectCP Canada aims to stimulate the interaction between Canadian cultural policy experts, mobilize human resources in Canadian cultural policy, and facilitate the flow of cultural policy information to and from Canada. So far, forty-two key Canadian experts are listed on ConnectCP Canada, including Serge Bernier, Jocelyn Harvey, Joyce Zemans, Sharon Jeannotte and Simon Brault, up from 27 when ConnectCP Canada was launched, in May 2007.
