June 13 to 19, 2010 is National Public Service Week. It is that time of year when some governments across Canada celebrate public service and the achievements of public servants. The Governor General of Canada has put out a statement commending the public servants for the work that they do.
There are many activities taking place across the country that are aimed at celebrating the excellence in public service that we find day in and day out in public services in Canada. The Government of Canada has a website dedicated to National Public Service Week that includes information about activities being undertaken by the Federal government. The Government of Manitoba has also set up a website to highlight what is happening in that province for National Public Service Week.
While I am happy that some public services are celebrating National Public Service Week, it would be great to have a coordinated campaign that includes the public service of all orders of government across Canada that highlights the value of public service in Canada. Maybe next year??
In the meantime, I would urge all public servants to take pride in their work and to celebrate their chosen profession. Have a great public service week!
