Co-founded in 2007 by Alison Loat and Michael MacMillan, the Samara Centre for Democracy is Canada’s leading non-partisan organization focused on strengthening and protecting Canadian democracy.

For over a decade the Samara Centre has produced cutting-edge research, impactful events and engaging resources aimed at strengthening civic engagement and action in Canada.

Our name comes from the winged “helicopter" seed that falls from a maple tree, a symbol of Canada, it reminds us that from small seeds, big ideas can grow.
