Canadian Heritage team

Since 2011, students from various MPS cohorts have earned continued success working at the Department of Canadian Heritage. Starting their career journeys as co-op students, these MPSers gathered top-notch policy experience that helped them acquire post-graduation employment with the federal public service.

On November 22, uWaterloo co-op students Christopher Gunn-Isaacs (MPS) and Alex Cho (AFM) received the “Over and Above” award from Deputy Minister of Finance, Steve Orsini, for their efforts with the Frost North Ministry of Finance United Way Campaign. The students collectively raised $4,000 for United Way on behalf of the Office of Economic Policy.
