I also met with the Prairies Federal Council to continue our ongoing dialogue about bringing our values and ethics to life at all levels of the public service.

Thank you to @PrairiesCanEn for this event!

Last week in Edmonton, I was grateful to hear directly from regional public servants who continue to deliver important services to Canadians.

This #IWD2024 let’s remember the power of investing in women. From education to entrepreneurship, supporting women benefits everyone! Gender equality builds healthier, more prosperous, and more inclusive communities. ❤️

To celebrate #IWD2024 , I was honoured to join Global Affairs Canada employees to talk leadership and the Call to Action. When we invest in women, and we invest in inclusion, we grow a stronger and more effective public service. Learn more ⬇️

During Black History Month, we have an opportunity to highlight the significant contributions Black people make to Canada. This year we are doing so through the powerful theme “Black Excellence: A Heritage to Celebrate; a Future to Build.” #BHM2024

– Clerk Hannaford

I had the opportunity to hear from Black public servants about their lived experiences. The discussions among the guest speakers were rich and left us feeling inspired, positive, and hopeful.

The #GC announced its first steps in an Action Plan for Black Public Servants. This action plan supports career development programs and services and a mental health fund for Black public servants: ow.ly/NNkG50QGsnz

Black History is Canadian history. This month is an opportunity to reflect on the influential Black role models who have shaped our lives and society.

This year’s Black History Month theme, “Black Excellence: A Heritage to Celebrate; a Future to Build,” is a reminder of our resolute commitment to anti-racism, equity, and inclusion in the public service. #BHM2024

Today is #BellLetsTalk Day. Across the public service, we’ve come a long way in reducing stigma and opening more conversations around mental health. Let’s continue to prioritize taking care of our physical and mental health.

Advancing accessibility is about creating barrier-free communities, workplaces and services for all Canadians. Let’s ensure that we make Canada accessible for everyone so that they can thrive and contribute equally. #IDPD2023

During this year’s APEX Recognition of Entry to the Executive Ranks Ceremony, the Clerk and Deputy Clerk welcomed nearly 800 new executives into the senior ranks of the federal public service.
