The annual GC Data Conference, now in its eighth year, is the primary forum for public servants and data leaders to increase awareness, share knowledge, and advance data applications across the Government of Canada.
With the theme of “From Insight to Foresight”, the GC Data Conference 2024 will explore issues and opportunities related to the responsible use of artificial intelligence, data and process automation, and applying human-centred principles to data activities.
Participants will engage in discussions on improving service delivery, policy development, and decision-making to support ethical and equitable data usage, human-centred design, and inclusivity when working with new and disruptive technologies.
This event is delivered through a partnership with Transport Canada and the Canada School of Public Service, with the subject-matter support and expertise of the GC Data Community.

Canadian Digital Service Research Survey
We want to hear from you! Help improve digital service delivery in the Government of Canada.
The Canadian Digital Service is working on modern, accessible, easy to use products to help you, and public servants like you, build and deliver better digital services.
To ensure we’re meeting your needs, we’re conducting research to learn more about your team’s priorities, and how federal public servants adopt and apply new technologies in their work.
Volunteer with the CVITP to help vulnerable Canadians
Every year, thousands of volunteers across Canada donate their time to help those in need do their taxes at free tax clinics through the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) and the Income Tax Assistance – Volunteer Program (ITAVP) in Quebec.
Free tax clinics can make a big difference in the lives of those with modest incomes by helping them access the benefits and credits they are entitled to. This is money they rely on to make rent, pay for childcare or buy food for their families.
You can choose to volunteer virtually or in person. It helps if you have a basic understanding of income tax, but every volunteer will have access to training, guidance, and tax-filing software to help them out.
