In 2025, Simon Fraser University's Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue is working to update the guide "Beyond Inclusion: Equity in Public Engagement." This comprehensive tool outlines 8 principles to support the meaningful and equitable inclusion of diverse voices in decision-making. It is used by governments, organizations and public engagement consultants around the world.

We are interested in hearing from members of the public, as well as public engagement practitioners (in government or civil society) and academics about your experiences, questions and suggestions on how to improve this resource.

To learn more about this project, or to contribute a case-study or further feedback, feel free to get in touch with Nicole Armos (Associate Director, Centre for Dialogue) at narmos@sfu.ca
