PIRGs in Canada
Canadian PIRGs are unaffiliated with U.S.-based PIRGs and are, for the most part, based around college campuses. They also operate on a different model; for example, Canadian PIRGs have a very different political agenda and employ consensus decision making model. Six Canadian provinces are home to PIRGs, including the Ontario Public Interest Research Group, the Alberta Public Interest Research Group (APIRG), and the Nova Scotia Public Interest Research Group. Canadian PIRG chapters are independent of each other, despite efforts toward collaboration.
