Unlocking the Potential of Genomic Data for Canada’s Future

Transforming Data Into Discovery

The Pan‑Canadian Genome Library (PCGL) is building a national resource designed to support the secure, responsible, and collaborative sharing of human genomic data. By making this data easier to discover and reuse, we accelerate scientific discovery and help improve health outcomes for all Canadians.

Acknowledgement of Territory

Our headquarters are based at McGill University on Tiohtià:ke, also known as Montréal. This land has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabeg nations.

Our members span the vast land that is now known as Canada, and are located at institutions in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.

We acknowledge the Indigenous Peoples, including the Inuit, First Nations and Métis, who are the original inhabitants of these lands from times immemorable.
