Why We're Shining a Light
Public servants are nurses, transit drivers, social workers, librarians, inspectors, and countless others who keep our province functioning.
For National Public Service Week, we've placed ads across transit systems throughout the province to make their contributions impossible to miss. If you've spotted one, you're in the right place.
This is a moment of recognition for the people who have chosen a life of service to others.
A Message from The Honourable Edith Dumont,
Lieutenant Governor of Ontario
