About the position
Work environmentThe Department:
The Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC) is a national organization of approximately 1,000 employees across Canada, dedicated to prosecuting federal offences. We offer meaningful career opportunities for legal and business professionals.
Our updated Mission and Values reflect a strong commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, as well as Equity and Inclusion. We recognize the impact of systemic discrimination and are working to support a fairer justice system for all, particularly Indigenous and racialized communities.
At the PPSC, every employee contributes to a workplace where people feel valued, respected, and empowered to bring their whole selves to work. Through our Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA) structure, employees can engage with one of five National Councils for Employees: Persons living with Disabilities, Racialized Persons, Black Persons, Indigenous Peoples, and 2SLGBTQIA+.
We’ve also modernized our Decision to Prosecute test to help prosecutors recognize and address bias and systemic factors, ensuring decisions reflect both legal standards and the broader public interest.
