PS Transitions FP Initiative — The 2002 Conference

The PolyBlog
February 6 2011

Back in 2002, I was fortunate to be part of a group of ex-Carleton students, now working for the federal government, who wanted to put on a conference on Recruitment and Retention issues facing new public servants. The conference was a lot of work, and the team delivered it well (I’m not tooting my own horn here, most of my assistance was on the creation of a website). I’ve posted the report and documents under a main “PS Transitions FP” page, with sub-pages for:

  • Main Page / Page principale
  • Report / Rapport
  • Appendices / Annexes
  • Conference Documents / Documents de conférence
  • Photo Gallery / Galerie des photos
  • The Organizers / Les organisateurs et organisatrices
  • Archives

In true Canadian public servant fashion, most of the material is available in both French and English, although a few of the original source materials are only available in English. The full report is also available for download.

    Book clubs 2026-06: A birthday buffet too rich to finishJune 10, 2026
    Ah, the fresh scent of June and my birthday month. There are lots of interesting books for me to consider reading on my birthday. First, though, there are some gifts from last month that weren’t posted in time for my roll-up, even though I said no to all of them! I’ve also been wondering about … Continue reading →

    Leveling up – Three kitchens, one frogMay 28, 2026
    Let me start with a confession. I only have 12 recipes on the website. Not much of a start, right? But this is part of my anal-retentive side. I like to curate recipes, find some good ones, and then put them on my blog. Except that I have hated the design of my recipes for … Continue reading →
  • Leveling up – From Goals to Pondside PlannerMay 27, 2026
    I write a lot about goals. Goals for the day, goals for life, goals for the week. Goals before retirement. Setting goals, monitoring goals, achieving goals, dropping goals. Different types of goals, different types of methods for managing goals. Having goals as a goal in and of itself. Sometimes it veers into performance measurement. Yet, … Continue reading →
  • Leveling up – Movie reviewsMay 27, 2026
    Similar to the work on the Lilypad Library (my book reviews), I’ve upgraded my movie reviews, too. First and foremost, I’ve changed the name to Lilypad Cinema. Notice the theme? Yes, I’m leaning fully into the frog motif. Second, I’ve upgraded my featured image. Previously, I used the couch potato-style image below, with the man … Continue reading →

    Leveling up – Book reviewsMay 26, 2026
    Soooo…I have said a few times over the last few years, “NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER CHANGE MY BOOK REVIEWS FORMAT.” Why? Because I am generally anal-retentive, and with 300 completed reviews, there is a niggly part of me where, if I change something, I want to go back and change all of them to … Continue reading →
