“The Power of An Opportunity”

APEX is excited to announce the 2021 Recognition of Entry into the Executive Ranks Ceremony – a premier virtual event, exclusively for Canada’s public service executive community. Our theme is “The Power of an Opportunity”. We will recognize and celebrate more than 750 new executives into the senior ranks of the federal Public Service.

The Event will be held on November 17, 2021 between 12:30pm and 2:00pm EST, to allow participation of executives from across Canada and abroad. A combination of keynotes from distinguished senior leaders, and a 2021 Olympic gold medalist, will motivate and encourage executives to seize opportunities to serve Canadians with pride and excellence.

Participation is by invitation only (New Executives who were appointed between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021 will be receiving an invitation). This annual signature celebration will inspire, motivate and encourage the community to see the “Power of an Opportunity”.
