Translating a commitment to diversity and inclusion into workplace policies and practices can be a difficult and overwhelming task. Toronto’s architecture, engineering and construction industry is no exception, with unique challenges that might feel daunting to overcome — but these are not challenges we have to face alone! Throughout our city and beyond, companies, firms and organizations are running programs and initiatives which we can all learn from as we work together towards making a more inclusive future.
Join the Toronto Society of Architects for our very first TSA Exchange, a cross-industry platform bringing together different sectors together of the AEC industry to discuss inclusion in construction with the aim of sharing tools and strategies. During this session we will hear from organizations working to address disparities and learn about their successes, challenges and lessons learnt. After the short presentations, participants will enter into small conversation groups to further delve into strategies, ideas and challenges, learning from each other and helping to shape our industry’s collective future.
Presentations:
