Local Government Program @ Western

Western offers the only graduate MPA program in Canada focused exclusively on local government. This program is popular with mid-career public servants, meaning the classes are filled with a mix of expertise — from librarians to clerks to planners to lawyers and more — yielding fun and meaningful conversations about the complexities of local government in Canada today.
