Our Bridge to Gender Equality Project Report findings have highlighted the importance of addressing systemic issues around equity, diversity, racism, and inclusion. Let’s reimagine our workplaces. Let’s shift our mindsets to empower more women to take their rightful place in leadership and decision-making roles. We can all take small steps each day to celebrate someone’s achievements, to be an ally, to mentor, and to expand our community.

In the next three years, more than 20% of the Canadian workforce is eligible to retire, nearly double the amount in the previous five years (Rubin, 2022). Attracting, recruiting, and retaining underrepresented groups will become vital to fill the workforce gap. Employees are demanding a more supportive, inclusive workplace. Let’s support healthy workplaces that embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion where we can all have the opportunities to thrive. 

We are celebrating over 22 years of WIL and we thank you all for your continued support and for being part of our community. WIL is about working together to get there.
