Changes

 

This two day event brought together brought together thought leaders in the Diversity and Inclusion space including senior officials in the public and private sector and academia. Topics and themes discussed were timely and relevant given growing momentum to address systems of oppression that impact the places we live and work today. We were grateful for the incredible contributions of passionate speakers during our panel discussions.

 

Our topics/themes of discussion are also really pertinent to the society we live and work in today so it also means we have lots of passionate speakers we can draw from - in public service, academia, or in the corporate world

In 2022, Working Group members are particularly focused on engaging with partners internally and across government to develop our mentorship tools. We are also conducting a survey to gain an understanding of the priorities for visible minority employees in Indigenous Services Canada and set priorities into the future. We are launching our Podcast series which will discuss areas of interest within the D&I space through a visible minority lens, and later in the year, we will be summarize lessons learned from this year in a final report.
