Today marks the launch of the Federal Open Science Repository of Canada - this is an important step forward in #openscience in 🇨🇦. Huge congrats to the departments and agencies who worked relentlessly to make this happen! 👏👏👏 open-science.canada.ca/home

For @ChiefSciCan, the arrival of the Federal Open Science Repository is a significant step forward in enabling greater openness of government #research and helps promote a culture of #science for all. bit.ly/3SjLYKY

It’s okay to not be okay. If you need help, or if you know someone who does, please reach out by calling or texting 9-8-8. That’s the number for Canada’s new suicide crisis helpline – and it’s now available across the country, in English and French, 24/7.
