The upcoming launch of a new research report by Future Skills Centre, Ryerson’s Diversity Institute and Public Policy Forum, is the impetus for this event. Join us for an insightful, frank and action-oriented panel discussion on where we go from here. Let’s be empowered to call in, call out and question issues of diversity and inclusion. It’s essential for change to occur.
