Government of Canada announces projects aimed at removing barriers to equality in federally regulated workplaces
Today, Minister O’Regan made the announcement with Wayne Sumarah, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Nova Scotia, along with project partners, and Andy Fillmore, Member of Parliament for Halifax. During the visit, they discussed Digital Nova Scotia’s project, called Creating an Inclusive Culture: Building Tech Workplaces that Work, which received over $1 million in funding. The project aims to create a more inclusive culture in Nova Scotia’s technology sector by improving the representation of supervisors and managers from all four designated groups. Digital Nova Scotia will share its final report with employers in Nova Scotia and across Canada to help raise awareness of industry-specific barriers to diversity and inclusion, and how to address them.
