Canada is a partner government of the Forum of Federations. The Forum's Canada program continues to expand with Forum involvement in several important conferences and study tours.

The Forum co-organized a workshop examining foreign relations of federal countries and an international conference on post-secondary education in federal countries.

In September 2007, experts examined the issues of federal-provincial, federal-state and international governance in the integration of the North American electricity sector.

Events in the Canada program have included:

Mexico                                                  
Mexico became a partner government in 2006. To date, the Forum's activities in Mexico have addressed inter-municipal cooperation, decentralization, intergovernmental cooperation and public security.

The Forum has co-organized workshops on decentralization and intergovernmental institutions, in partnership with the Mexican Interior Ministry's National Institute for Federalism and Municipal Development (INAFED).

The Forum and INAFED are also active in the area of public security. Forum experts have participated in roundtables and panels on the subject and future workshops are planned to promote exchanges between Brazilian, Spanish and Argentine practitioners and their Mexican counterparts. This workshop series will travel to several Mexican states throughout the republic.
