Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, Central government agency in Ottawa, Canada
The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat is the central administrative body in Ottawa responsible for overseeing the Canadian federal government's finances and operational policies. It manages budget allocation, enforces workplace standards, and coordinates how government departments handle money and resources.
The organization was created in 1867 at the time of Canadian Confederation to manage federal government finances and operations. Its responsibilities expanded over time to include human resources oversight, technology policies, and general administration across all government branches.
The Secretariat implements programs to strengthen federal workplace diversity through recruitment initiatives and professional development opportunities across all government departments.

The Secretariat runs GCpedia, an internal platform where thousands of federal employees share knowledge and work together across departments. This system helps coordinate activities and share solutions among government agencies.
