Watch the Defence Team panel discussion: Addressing racial inequities
May 17, 2022 - Defence Stories
Please join the inaugural Raise Your Voice Forum on Tuesday May 24 2022, at 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) with the Minister and her Advisory Panel on Systemic Racism and Discrimination.
The Raise Your Voice Forum, hosted by the Anti-Racism Secretariat, is a platform for DND/CAF members designed to raise awareness and increase collaboration. It aims to achieve a culture grounded in equity, diversity and inclusion through learning the experiences of Indigenous, Black and racialized members of the Defence Team.
The Advisory Panel members will share their insights on what they’ve learned during the course of their mandate, and how it informed their final report. This is an opportunity for open discussion – an invitation for Defence Team members to join senior leadership to enable positive culture change and build a better workplace.
