Head of the Public Service Award

 

DATE: April 19, 2001

TO: Deputy Ministers and Heads of Agencies

FROM: Marcel Nouvet
Chief Human Resources Officer

SUBJECT: Head of the Public Service Award

On December 11, 2000, 20 Head of the Public Service Awards were given to individuals and teams, for a total of 205 recipients from across Canada. This award is distinctive because all public servants are eligible. The criteria reflect the priorities of the Clerk of the Privy Council.

We are seeking your assistance again this year in launching the annual nomination process for The Head of the Public Service Award. You will find enclosed a letter signed by Mel Cappe, Head of the Public Service, which invites all members of the Public Service to participate in proposing nominations. All nominations must be sent directly to the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat. You will also find enclosed a nomination package, information on the award, and a sample of an article that may be adapted for publication in your departmental newsletter.

Please ensure that each member of your organisation receives a copy of Mr. Cappe's letter and its attachments. Information on The Head of the Public Service Award can also be accessed through the Internet at: http://publiservice.tbs-sct.gc.ca/ organisation/hr-rh_e.asp. The deadline for nominations is June 22, 2001.

Thank you for ensuring that this information is sent to your staff promptly. Your support will help make this award a success and thereby contribute to the recognition of the excellent work of many public servants.
