Tamarack is a charitable organization dedicated to helping Canadian communities take ownership of local issues by making use of proven strategies for community engagement. Community Engagement is commonly defined as citizens from different sectors of a community joining together taking leadership, to address issues that affect them all.
Tamarack was founded as a partnership between Alan Broadbent of the Maytree Foundation, and Paul Born. Designed to promote community building across Canada, the institute's mission is to develop a process to help people create bold visions for the future of their communities, and work together to achieve those visions more easily and effectively.
Through work with local organizations, Tamarack seeks out and encourages committed citizens to build communities that are caring, prosperous and healthy. Citizens in these communities work together in a comprehensive, collaborative manner on projects that create effective systems and structures and result in good opportunities, good government, a clean environment, creative education, and peace for all people.
