The IPAC/Deloitte Public Sector Leadership Awards program recognizes organizations that have shown excellence in leadership within the public sector in Canada. The awards showcase projects and initiatives undertaken by organizations or agencies where leadership played a key role in making it possible for major organizational transformation and outstanding performance to occur.
"In today's environment, Canada's public sector understands the need for organizational transformations that go beyond traditional programs and services.
