We’re working with local businesses to create more inclusive workplaces and communities.

The Bow Valley Workplace Inclusion Charter is a voluntary no-cost employer toolkit and recognition program to create more inclusive workplaces in the Bow Valley.

We’ve launched our 2024 Bow Valley Workplace Inclusion Charter and we invite you to join us in fostering welcoming, inclusive workplaces for all!

The Charter program supports employers to:

  • Sign a Declaration of Commitment to Workplace Inclusion

  • Choose commitments for your business to implement within 12 months

  • Access free resources, training, & support to implement the commitments

  • Be recognized as a Workplace Inclusion Champion (marketing collateral, certificates, and media coverage)
