Abstract

Recently, the Canadian federal government has moved to an alternative service delivery model where the third sector has been increasingly called on to fill the gaps in government service delivery. However, these organisations suffer from tight budgets and burdensome accountability measures, and generally they do not have resources to undertake policy work. New organisations that promote innovation in the third sector are needed to fill this gap, so the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, located in Saskatoon, developed the Policy Shop, a student-run, pro-bono policy consultancy, to meet the needs of the third-sector organisations in the policy space. Organisations like the Policy Shop serve as innovation brokers and link third-sector organisations to the university–industry–government Triple Helix network.
