Published purpose

The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development has a requirement for a vendor to plan and deliver recruitment and human resources management services for the Canada Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, ensuring seamless operations with qualified front-line and operational support personnel. International expositions, or world fairs, highlight global innovations and foster international collaboration. They offer opportunities for countries to highlight their strengths, explore partnerships between governments and the private sector. Canada has contributed to international expositions since 1851. These events have modernized Canada’s image, highlighting our values, natural beauty, tourism potential, and other strengths, enhancing our global profile, deepening bilateral relationships, and promoting trade and investment opportunities. Successful participation is largely due to the quality of personnel who allow the Canada Pavilion to function and represent the best that Canada has to offer to the millions of visitors. The visitor’s experience is enriched by a welcoming and engaging hosting staff who inform and guide visitors through a visual and multisensory story, with surprises and novelty. The hosting staff are considered ambassadors for Canada, proudly representing the diversity and inclusiveness of our nation. Canada requires the services of a personnel recruitment and management company to assemble a team of personnel from Canada and from Japan, as outlined in the list below. This team will fulfill various roles, responsibilities, and services required at the Canada Pavilion before, after and during the six-month Expo 2025 Osaka global event. By carefully choosing and managing Personnel, the Contractor will provide personnel who enhance visitor experiences, ensure operational efficiency, and represent Canada's diversity effectively.
