Public Service Renewal: Working for Reconciliation

Jennifer Brown (NCR) – Senior Policy Advisor, Treaties and Aboriginal Government

I do believe that in working at INAC, I am contributing to historic developments in advancing reconciliation; in fact, I know that I am. There’s a different level of trust, and renewing that trust is critical to how we move forward. (…)Why I chose to work at INAC is because I think you can do it all here.

Waseskon Awashish (QC) – Communications officer, Communications

Being Indigenous, I felt challenged by the work that is done here.  Also, I must say that the mandate's complexity was very appealing to me.  I really wanted to be part of a workforce that makes a difference in the everyday lives of Indigenous communities in Canada.

Sean Campbell (ON) – Student, Funding Services iHireaboriginal Student Ambassador

Every day, when I go to work, I know that the work I’m doing is directly helping people; I’m contributing to communities all across the province.

Agnes Tan (NCR) – Financial Advisor, Chief Financial Officer sector

INAC is a very exciting place to work. The department delivers such a wide variety of programming and provides me with the opportunity to learn about so many different things, from education, to the building of infrastructure, to the settlement of claims. You cannot get this type of experience anywhere else.

Victoria Bird (NCR) – Student, Human Resources and Workplace Services

What I like about my work at INAC is mostly the people who I work with. They inspire me so much and, like, what I want to do here eventually, because I am a student right now. So I hope to be where they are.
