✅ Why This Commitment Is Important:

Prioritizing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives is pivotal for promoting equitable opportunities and fostering a sense of inclusion within the Bow Valley community.

This commitment underscores an organizational dedication to creating a welcoming environment for all individuals. Without the commitment of leaders at all levels of the organization these aspirational goals will not reflect the lived experiences of your employees and guests.

Regardless of where an organization may be on its DEI journey, the opportunities to learn and seek out understanding abound.

Intended Outcomes:

  1. Stronger leadership commitment to inclusion
    Leadership participation signals that 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusivity is a priority for the company, and sets the tone for a respectful, inclusive workplace.

  2. Improved awareness and knowledge
    Training builds leadership understanding of 2SLGBTQIA+ identities, experiences, and best practices for inclusive policies and behaviour.

  3. More inclusive workplace culture
    When leaders apply what they’ve learned, it helps create a safer, more welcoming environment for all staff and guests, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.
