Please use the contact information below to request accommodation during any phase of this assessment process. This information will be kept confidential and your right to privacy will be protected.

**Duties**:
Prosecutors play a key role in the Canadian criminal justice system. As Counsel at the PPSC, you will conduct criminal prosecutions on behalf of the Director of Public Prosecutions on many significant and complex cases related to drugs, organized crime, terrorism, money laundering, human trafficking, war crimes, and so on. You will quickly gain a breadth of knowledge and experience as you work on a variety of prosecutions. Unlike in private practice, where little time is spent in court, prosecutors can go to court every day. You can acquire immediate trial experience that many private litigators must wait years to get. Joining the Public Prosecution Service of Canada will be a transformative experience, both professionally and personally.

The National Capital Regional Office (NCRO) is responsible for federal prosecutions in the East, Northwestern, and Northeastern regions of Ontario, as well as in judicial districts in western Quebec. The regional headquarters is located in Ottawa.

The NCRO has expanded with the creation of an office in Kenora. This office, located in the Kenora Market Square building, is growing with the addition of additional counsel positions. Kenora is situated on beautiful Lake of the Woods in Ontario, close to the Manitoba border and about 210 km east of Winnipeg. Part of “Sunset Country”, Kenora is well known as a popular cottage destination, with premier fishing opportunities and spectacular hiking trails.

**Work environment**:
The Department:
The Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC) is a national organization that prosecutes federal offences. We offer career opportunities for prosecutors, paralegals, legal assistants, and a wide range of business professionals. Our organization consists of approximately 1000 employees in regional offices across the country.

Every PPSC employee has a role to play in creating a work environment where every person can bring their whole self to work and feel valued and empowered to contribute. Being informed and influenced by our diverse employees helps change the heart and conscience of the PPSC. As part of the larger PPSC Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA) governance structure, you can join one of five National Councils for Employees: Persons living with Disabilities, Racialized Persons, Black Persons, Indigenous Peoples, and 2SLGBTQIA+.

**Intent of the process**:
