GC Communities

GC Communities / Communautés GC

“Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much” @HelenKellerIntl

There are lots of communities in the GC that are doing amazing work, and this page is a portal to join and contribute to these communities.

If you don't see a community for the work you do, consider starting one! See the section on Community Building Resources for tools to help, and Community Builders for people who can provide advice and guidance.

Please see Policy on Acceptable Network and Device Use and Values and Ethics Code for the Public Sector.

Communities in the GC / Les bâtisseurs de communautés dans le GC

See the Employee Engagement Network for mailing lists and Twitter handles to reach broader audiences in the NCR and regions.
