TBS BEN

Welcome to Treasury Board of Canada’s Black Employee Network Wiki Page

This page is a public wiki hosted by Treasury Board of Canada’s (TBS) Black Employee Network (BEN) to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Our Black Employee Network Group on GCconnex, is a safe space to discuss barriers faced by Black employees and to have real conversations about inclusion, anti‑black racism and discrimination.

BEN provides a unique opportunity to be part of a forum to reflect upon the reality of racism and discrimination in the workplace. We all have a role to play in dismantling anti-Black racism in the GC and in Canada.

To all public servants: we encourage you to join us in taking a stand. Join the Black Employee Network Group on GCconnex, and explore the resources, events and announcements posted on this page, as we prepare our official launch.
