Meet the people of SSC

Shared Services Canada (SSC) is the digital backbone of the Government of Canada. We support more than just operations—we’re leading a bold transformation, propelling the government into the digital age. Our mission is clear: to restore Canada’s position as a global leader in digital government.

Behind every system we modernize, every service we streamline and every innovation we launch, dedicated SSC employees are making it happen. These are the people who ensure that government works—smarter, faster and more securely—for all Canadians.

We often highlight the projects and technologies that drive our progress. But this summer, we’re shining a light on what truly powers our success: our people. Their expertise, passion and commitment are the foundation of everything we achieve. Our strength is—and always will be—in our people.

Want to see what drives us? Read our stories and meet the people powering Canada’s digital future.

Who we are

We are the digital engine behind government operations—working round the clock, across nearly 4,000 locations in Canada and around the world.
From frontline services to national defence, we support over 200,000 federal employees and more than 140 organizations. Whether it’s a scientist in the lab, a park ranger in the field or a border guard on duty, our technology keeps them connected, secure and ready to serve.
Canadians count on us for the digital services they use every day—filing taxes, applying for EI, completing the census and more. Behind the scenes, our expert teams are solving problems, adapting to change and keeping systems running smoothly.
We’re more than IT—we’re people with a purpose, working together to build a stronger, smarter digital government.

Recognizing outstanding employee accomplishments

Congratulations to all the winners of the Awards of Excellence and to the 25 SSC recipients of the King Charles III Coronation Medal. The dedication, creativity and teamwork of these employees help us deliver better services and make us a stronger organization.
