Who We Are

The Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada and Indigenous Services Canada Young Professional Network (CIRNAC-ISC YPN), is an open and inclusive network consisting primarily of young professionals but open to all employees interested in continuing their professional development. As employees of these departments, we acknowledge with gratitude and respect that the Headquarters office is located on the traditional and unceded Algonquin Anishinaabe territory. In alignment with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, we strive to ensure this network is inclusive of all young professionals, in particular for Indigenous employees, considering the nature of our work, and that our events recognize the history and legacy of the departments. Our membership includes CIRNAC and ISC employees at all stages of their career, some new to the department, or to the government, but with a shared vision of an open and collaborative public service with opportunities for new ideas and initiatives.

CIRNAC-ISC YPN's Vision

• Give young professionals a voice and increase their visibility within CIRNAC and ISC and the larger public service;
• Enable a broader understanding of the public service in young professionals and newcomers to the public service through opportunities for learning, leadership, and networking;
• Encourage interdepartmental and inter-sectoral communication, coordination and collaboration; and,
• Provide opportunities for CIRNAC and ISC employees to learn about the history of Indigenous peoples, including the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law, and Indigenous–Crown relations, in alignment with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #57.
