Join the PPF Academy and the Canada School of Public Service for our second event on Public Service Innovation and Leadership During COVID-19. We’ll dive into two cases where public servants showed crisis leadership by repatriating Canadians from around the world and by creating the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB). How did they and their teams navigate the first turbulent weeks of the crisis? What did they learn? What would they change?
If you have any questions, please contact Jonathan Perron-Clow.
