We are the Diversity and Inclusion in GB Rural Workplaces collaboration project – funded by Heritage Canada – along with the Owen Sound and District Chamber of Commerce, Welcoming Communities Grey Bruce, the YMCA, and the Grey Bruce Local Immigration Partnership.

It aims to support employers, human resources professionals and supervisors from all sectors – private and public in Grey Bruce – to learn how to successfully build connections and address racism and discrimination, creating positive and meaningful workplaces for racialized people, indigenous communities, and people of colour, including new immigrants.  

Join us at the Conversations that Matter: Diversity & Inclusion in GB Workplaces: A World Café Event! Wednesday, Mar. 1,  10:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library auditorium, 824 1st Ave. W., Owen Sound,

Why attend?

It will be a safe space for having a dialogue on how workplaces at GB are diverse and inclusive. We will facilitate a dialogue around what really matters to address racism and discrimination in our communities effectively.

This event will enhance cross-cultural sensitivities as participants are invited to talk “from their life experiences."

We will learn practices made/implemented within GB workplaces to value, welcome, and fully include racialized people.

Please register here to attend.

The "World-Café" is s a popular education methodology for creating a living network of collective dialogue around questions that matter and participants' experience in real life. The World Café is built on the assumption that people already have within them the wisdom and creativity to confront even the most difficult challenges;  that the answers we need are available to us, and that we are Wiser Together than we are alone.

The “Conversations that Matter: Diversity & Inclusion in GB Workplaces" will create a safe space for having a dialogue in which participants will:

  • Learn to locate themselves on the spectrum: Diversity / Inclusion <-> Uniformity/ Exclusion
  • Have a dialogue around what really matters to address racism and discrimination in our communities effectively
  • Enhance cross-cultural sensitivities
  • Share practices made / implemented within GB workplaces to value, welcome, and fully include racialized people.
