Here, at once, in thousands of places across this nation and around the world, beat the hearts of a quarter of a million men and women who, together, form a determined and dedicated force.

A kaleidoscope of the human expression of our country.

We are the Public Service of Canada.

We are Canada’s largest employer with more lines of business than any other Canadian sector.

We apply our talent, our energy, and our passion to one single mission: to make Canada the amazing place that it is and has been for over 140 years.

We serve. We protect. We reach out. We listen and we act.

We are about the health of the nation, the health of the environment.

About safety and security in the skies, on the roads, on our waterways, at our borders.

We are about research and development, cutting edge science, expert advice to the decision-makers of our country.

Our work is about protecting and promoting our heritage, about celebrating the richness of our cultural fabric.

Our work is about shaping the future; creating the building blocks of the Canadian society of tomorrow, about justice, about serving Canadians where they live and work.

Our work is about right now: reaching out to our most vulnerable, ensuring our economic stability and viability, reaching around the world to reflect who we are and reaching beyond into the realm of the unexplored.

We act with integrity and professionalism, knowing that the decisions we make, the actions we take have direct impact on 32 million people across Canada in communities from coast to coast to coast.

These actions are a reflection of our commitment to serve, are the expression of how we make our mark on our nation and on the world. 

Who are we?   

We are individuals, citizens, parents and neighbours.

We are volunteers in a hundred thousand causes and organizations; giving our time and energy to the communities we live in.

We learn from each other collaborating and working in teams that bring out the best in ideas.

We work in an environment that supports and develops our talent at all levels.

Public service gives us the chance to grow and to experience opportunity: for a wide range of choices are there for consideration, providing the path to satisfying careers.

We challenge ourselves and each other to take our talent to the edge and we have built a worldwide reputation because of how we think, how we innovate.

What we do is complex. What we do can be dangerous, daunting and painstaking.

But this is what we do.

And this is why we do it. 

We are the Public Service of Canada.
