Invasive Alien Species Partnership Program
The Invasive Alien Species Partnership Program (IASPP) is an integral part of An Invasive Alien Species Strategy for Canada. This initiative is administered by Environment Canada, and managed cooperatively with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The Invasive Alien Species Partnership Program provides funding to provinces, municipalities, educational institutions and non-government organizations, as well as to other groups who are working in support of the goals of the National Strategy.  The goal of the IASPP is to engage Canadians in actions to prevent, detect, and manage invasive alien species in order to minimize the risk the species pose to Canada's natural capital.

Read more about the Invasive Alien Species Strategy for Canada

In September 2004, the federal government and its provincial and territorial counterparts introduced An Invasive Alien Species Strategy for Canada to reduce the risk of invasive alien species and conserve our ecosystems. This strategy helps prevent new invasions; detect and respond rapidly to new invasive alien species; and manage established invasive alien species through eradication, containment, and control. The strategy also includes measures to help prevent introductions of invasive alien species from other countries, or from species which have moved from one ecosystem to another within Canada.
