Join our team of passionate, talented people working on the cutting edge of digital and multi-sector partnerships.

The mission

The Digital Enablement Directorate of the Treasury Board Secretariat is working to help the Government of Canada work in the open, to create better digital tools and services. How? By developing an open and accessible digital workspace – an open source solution using open standards and light-weight partnerships to help us get it right.
