Your voice matters in Canadian democracy
Find consultations. Make your voice heard.
What is Canada Consults?
Every day, governments across Canada ask for public input on decisions that affect your life—from local zoning changes to national policy. But these consultations are scattered across dozens of websites, written in dense bureaucratic language, and easy to miss.
Canada Consults brings them all together in one place. We track consultations from federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments, and use AI to create plain-language summaries so you can quickly understand what's at stake.
How it works
Our system monitors government websites daily to find new and updated consultations.
AI translates bureaucrat into English, extracts deadlines, and highlights what's at stake.
Find consultations that matter to you, learn how to submit feedback, and make your voice heard.
A note on AI
We use AI to generate summaries and extract key information from government documents. This helps make dense bureaucratic text more accessible, but AI isn't perfect.
Always check the official source before submitting feedback. If you spot an error, please let us know.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a government consultation?
A consultation is when a government asks the public for input before making a decision. This could be about new regulations, policy changes, infrastructure projects, or community planning. Your feedback can genuinely influence outcomes.
Is this an official government website?
No. Canada Consults is an independent project. We aggregate publicly available information from government sources but have no official affiliation with any government body.
How do I participate in a consultation?
Each consultation has its own submission process—some accept online forms, others want emails or written letters. We show you the available methods and link directly to the official submission page.
How often is the data updated?
We check for new consultations daily. Faster than most interdepartmental memos. However, governments sometimes update their pages without notice, so always verify deadlines on the official source.
Who runs this?
Canada Consults is a small independent project built to make civic participation more accessible. No government funding, no lobbyist money, just caffeine and civic optimism.
