The majority, if not all, of CES-specific terminology and expressions can be found on this client's website. It has both English and French versions. (See accompanying links above.) The Canadian Evaluation Society's website. It is a full-featured, well-indexed site that is equipped with a strong search capability. There is a great deal of archived material on the site, so your terminology search may require some digging.

Note: The French acronym for CES, namely SCÉ (Société canadienne d'évaluation), is always spelled with an accent on the capital "É". Among other things, the accented French acronym for the Society avoids confusion with the CES Essential Skills Series (ESS) French acronym: (Série de compétences essentielles (SCE)).

Evaluation is a growing public sector function championed by Treasury Board. Accordingly, function-specific terms in use by this client can be found on the TERMIUM. However, CES National (as it is known within the community) has its own programs and initiatives whose French translations will not appear on Termium searches. Therefore, your terminology search will inevitably include the CES website.

Client-specific terminology not found on the CES website or on the TERMIUM may be found on the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) website.

If you use the Google search engine, you can search on the word, expression or sentence and add the expression +gc.ca to the search string. Example: project evaluation +gc.ca

Time-Saving Tip #1: Using the Google Canada search engine (i.e. google.ca), perform a search on the word, expression or sentence and confine your search to the "Search: pages from Canada" option for optimal results. (In other words, click on the "Search: pages from Canada" radio button before executing your search.) Adding the expression +gc.ca to the search string may also prove helpful in narrowing the search results.

Time-Saving Tip #3: The process of toggling between English and French pages can be a bit arduous in some instances. One technique that works for us is to open two web pages, one that is kept on the location of the English, while the second is scrolled to find the French equivalent.
