The City of Saskatoon has been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers for its success in developing a workforce that is representative of its newly diverse population, achieved through a mix of community outreach, partnerships, and pre-employment coaching.
The City of Bremen started an inclusive campaign in 2009 to recruit more young people from immigrant background into the civil service under the slogan “You are the Key…to your Future and your City”. The campaign successfully recruited for a wide range of departments, including police, firefighters, law enforcement, judicial administration, financial management and general administration.
