Information and Communications Technology

The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) branch provides valued, functional and cost-effective information management, information technology and telecommunications support for the delivery of services to the public and for internal government administration.  ICT has five program units:

  • Application Services
  • Corporate Information Management
  • Development Services
  • Network Services
  • Telecom Services

The primary purpose of ICT is to demonstrate responsible and visionary leadership in deploying and managing the government’s information resources. It does this by:

  • identifying opportunities for the strategic use and sharing of information and communications technology and information resources across government;
  • ensuring the continued availability and reliability of the government’s corporate information and communications technology infrastructure to meet the ongoing demands and expectations for government program delivery;
  • helping departments realize opportunities to improve their programs through the use of information management and information technology; and
  • ensuring public access to information and protection of privacy, as set out in legislation.
