Diversity and inclusion - a hot topic in the world right now. But knowing how and where to begin to make a tangible difference can be tricky... That's why we created this podcast! By drawing on the experience of thought leaders across Canada, we hope to create awareness, showcase a variety of perspectives, and inspire courage for all of us to create more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces and communities for all. Hosted by CCDI's Vice-President of Engagement, Anne-Marie Pham.
