Turning Digital One Leaf at a Time

In recent years, the Government of Canada began recognizing the benefits a digital government, taking pivotal/meaningful steps to a more digitally-driven public service.There is a vast amount of digital projects being championed by Canadian governments across the country. In light of this, the Chief Information Officer of the Government of Canada invited jurisdictions across Canada to share their innovative digital projects. The response was positive and far-reaching, with submissions emerging from federal, provincial and municipal bodies. Considered digital wins, the initiatives have been mapped to the following themes: Blockchain, Digital Economy, Digital Well-Being, Artificial Intelligence/Automation, Digital Identity, Open and Digital Government and Digital Security. Canada appreciates and encourages all digital initiatives assisting its public servants in producing first-rate products and services.
