SKTSO Employees	The Saskatchewan Tax Services Office at Canada Revenue Agency needed a way to communicate and stay connected with each other once everyone was sent to work from home. The SKTSO Employees group was leveraged during National Public Service Week to host virtual celebrations. Each day, there was a new theme highlighting a different division in the organization. Activities during the week included polls on working from home, awards ceremonies, photo-sharing, etc. Moving forward, the group will be used to check in with employees and have non-work related discussions to keep everyone engaged.

Federal Youth Network (FYN)	The Federal Youth Network fosters and promotes engagement, innovation, and career development through in-person and virtual programming. FYN attempts to be visible on all social platforms to reach their target audience wherever they are and to stay connected. They have heavily relied on GCcollab and GCwiki this fiscal year because of their “off network” accessibility. They appreciate that the GCtools are free to use, and that they can store and share documents.	Jennifer MacDougall	Jennifer.MacDougall@canada.ca	N/A

Indigenous Learning Community	The Indigenous Learning Community GCpedia platform was created to house a repository/inventory of Indigenous-related learning and training activities, resources and tools across Government of Canada departments/agencies. It is an opportunity to share between departments and agencies on how The Truth and Reconciliation Commission Call to Action #57 is operationalized in our respective work places. The repository will be an evergreen space where various learning and training activities, resources and tools generated by both government and non-government institutions will be centralized, preserved, and made accessible. ||Annie Leblond|| Email || N/A
