Who we are:

The Public Service Pride Network (PSPN) is a movement that began in 2018 by a group of federal employees committed to making the public service a workplace where 2SLGBTQIA+ public servants can be their authentic self, be respected and valued for their contributions to Canadians.

As these are ongoing opportunities, there is no deadline to submit.

"My assignment with the PSPN has been enormously enriching for me personally and for my home department in terms of the contributions and connections I am making. I have gained tremendous appreciation for and knowledge of diversity, equity and inclusion as a horizontal issue within government, communications strategies, events planning and how to gain and hold a seat at the table on key policy files. All of this while working in a small, collegial and dedicated team where so much of the administrative overhead that can bog our work down is absent. The benefits flow in both directions: my department has already profited from as I have facilitated connections leading to changes in chosen name policy and practice and have helped highlight IRC successes to a broader audience and connect IRCC to bigger dialogues. My only regret about the assignment is that it will come to an end too quickly."
