We will support and promote diversity so that all lawyers, legal assistants, students and staff know that they are valued and welcomed. Through the creation of our firm-wide LGBT policy and associated LGBT Affinity groups, we will assist LGBT members of the Firm to succeed as lawyers, professionals and administrative staff by providing support and networking opportunities that include mentoring, community outreach, career development and cultural awareness activities. We will continue to strive for a diverse and inclusive workplace for all.

We are committed to supporting, promoting and maintaining a diverse and inclusive culture. Our annual Global Diversity Day, the Fasken Pride Network (Fasken Pride) and our firm-wide policy on LGBT affinity groups are just some examples that serve to highlight and embrace our diversity and inclusiveness. Fasken Pride also actively supports the LGBT community through external networks, including Out on Bay Street, Out in the Capital, and the Ontario Bar Association’s Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Committee (SOGIC), and through our national partnership with Pride at Work Canada.
