What does active allyship look like? How can we meaningfully support our 2SLGBTQI+ colleagues?

As we celebrate Pride Month, join Engineers Canada and partner TD Insurance for a webinar entitled, Allyship in engineering: Amplifying 2SLGBTQI+ voices and driving positive change. The webinar will bring together professionals from across engineering, technology, trades, and finance to discuss the importance of allyship among colleagues in the workplace, and shed light on what meaningful support looks like in practice. 

From centering lived experience, to identifying the role of allies and the actions that can be taken towards building more inclusive spaces, panellists will share their insights, highlighting the opportunities that exist and the roles that we all play in supporting 2SLGBTQI+ folks in the workplace.
