Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) - *Canada, Ottawa, ON

This is an open Expression of Interest (EOI) from the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) seeking Elders and Elder Helpers to provide Indigenous cultural support to offenders in CSC institutions in the Prairies Region. The listed tender location is Ottawa, Ontario, but the services appear intended for correctional institutions in the Prairies; confirm the actual service locations in the official notice. Services may include traditional teachings, counselling, healing support, ceremonies, spiritual services, cultural guidance, participation in case conferences, advice to CSC staff, and support for escorted temporary absences. Elder Helpers may assist Elders with ceremonies, supplies, scheduling, offender supervision, teachings, reporting, and counselling when directed. An interested Elder or Elder Helper must appear to be recognized by their Indigenous community, other Elders, and teachers as having relevant knowledge of traditional culture, ceremonies, protocols, teachings, and healing practices. The work would take place in a controlled federal correctional environment and may involve security procedures, institutional movement restrictions, reporting, and working with CSC staff and case-management teams. This notice is an EOI rather than a confirmed contract award or conventional bid opportunity. It appears relevant primarily to recognized Indigenous Elders, Elder Helpers, Indigenous communities, and Indigenous organizations able to provide these services. The closing date shown is January 13, 2027, at 2:00 p.m.; confirm the time zone and submission process. Review the complete Elder and Elder Helper statements of work and contact the CSC representative identified in the official tender materials before expressing interest. Verify all requirements, service locations, security obligations, contracting terms, compensation, and submission instructions directly in the official notice, as the information provided here is incomplete and no official source URL was supplied.

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, Quebec

This notice is for a Canada procurement managed by PSPC in Gatineau, Quebec.It is not an open call for new bidders: it appears to be an update announcing the qualified respondents from a past Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) for CT imaging systems and support. The notice says only the listed qualified respondents—Rapiscan Systems Canada Inc. and Smiths Detection Montreal Inc.—will be invited to the next stages of the procurement. For a Canadian business owner, this mainly looks relevant as a status update, not as a new opportunity to apply, but the official notice should be checked carefully to confirm whether any future related stages or other opportunities are posted.
