Transformation through collaboration.

The CIO Strategy Council is Canada’s primary national forum bringing together the country’s most forward-thinking chief information officers and executive technology leaders to collectively mobilize on common digital priorities.

What We Do

Cutting across major sectors of the Canadian economy – public, private and not for profit– the Council harnesses the collective expertise and action of Canada’s CIOs to propel Canada as a digital-first nation. The Standards Council of Canada accredited the CIO Strategy Council to develop National Standards of Canada supporting the data-driven economy.
