Bachelor of Public Affairs and Policy Management students take on Ottawa’s urban challenges in the first-ever PAPM case competition!

Teams of 3rd and 4th year PAPM students will analyze a current policy issue in the City of Ottawa and present their recommendations to a panel of judges, including Ottawa City Councillor Shawn Menard; School of Public Policy and Administration Professor Jessica Parish; and Canadian Heritage Policy Analyst, Dong Ngo.

Find out how BPAPM students tackle some of Ottawa’s toughest urban problems!
