1. Requirement
There is a requirement to obtain the services of an art broker to provide Canadian made art gifts for the Departmental Awards and Recognition Ceremony during the National Public Service Week to take place on June 18th, 2014.
2. Background
The Departmental Award Ceremony is held once a year, during National Public Service Week (NPSW). NPSW provides employees with the opportunity to celebrate their work, where all employees located in the National Capital Region are invited to the award ceremony. This award ceremony is Public Safety Canada’s main event during NPSW. The Award Ceremony is to recognize dedicated, professional, resourceful and hard-working Public Safety Canada employees recognizing the contributions they make to the quality of life of Canadians and helps the department instill pride in its employees. Awards recipients are invited to go on stage to receive the art gift and a short rendition describing their exploit is read to inform all employees in attendance. A photo is then taken with the Deputy Minister, Associate Deputy Minister and the recipients holding their prestigious art gift.
Public Safety Canada’s mandate is to keep Canadians safe from a range of risks such as natural disasters, crime and terrorism. To do this, Public Safety Canada coordinates and supports the efforts of federal organizations ensuring national security and the safety of Canadians. We also work with other levels of government, first responders, community groups, the private sector and other nations. "There is no more fundamental role for government than the protection of its citizens."
