The Digital Collaboration Division of the Treasury Board Secretariat is a team of passionate public servants that helps the Government of Canada and its partners work together, in the open, to create a better world. How? By developing an accessible digital workspace as an open source software project – with open standards, open source software, and light-weight partnerships to help us get it right. While we work on that, we are also responsible for maintaining the GCTools (GCcollab, GCconnex, GCpedia and more!). Our work involves everything from strategic planning, policy & foresight, data analysis and reporting, user experience, advocacy and marketing, content management and curation, community management and user support. Our team also looks after the complete technical operations from networking, server provision, application development and user experience testing. We work with and for our users to make the Government of Canada awesome!
