Speakers Bureau
Public education is a key mandate of the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC). We do this through education, engaging and connecting with the public, community groups and organizations. The Speakers Bureau is a free service provided by CSC to:
- raise public awareness about our federal correctional system
- increase understanding of CSC programs and activities
CSC’s Speakers Bureau connects dynamic and experienced speakers, both virtually and in-person, with:
- communities
- schools
- organizations
- and more!
