Renewing the Government of Canada's Data Strategy Roadmap

Led by Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, Privy Council Office, and Statistics Canada, supported by the GC Data Community at the Canada School of Public Service

In 2018, the Report to the Clerk of the Privy Council: A Data Strategy Roadmap for the Federal Public Service was published, putting forward a “whole-of-government approach to creating, protecting, using, managing, and sharing data as a strategic asset”.

Since publication, the context, priorities and maturity of the federal data landscape has evolved and there is a need to update the data strategy to highlight the most important priorities and actions that will allow the government to mature into the future.

When we add materials to this page, we'll announce it on the GC Data Community group on GCcollab. Join us.
