SUMMARY:Advocating for Equity: Modernizing the Employment Equity Act [In English]
DESCRIPTION:February 24 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 PM EDT – this event is exclusive for employees of our Proud Partners and Community Partners. Ce webinaire aura lieu en français le 3 mars. \nEmployment equity has been a priority for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in Canada for over 50 years. Despite this long term advocacy\, 2SLGBTQIA+ workers remain excluded from the Employment Equity Act’s protections\, leaving them underrepresented in data and equity initiatives\, and facing persistent barriers such as wage gaps\, precarious work\, and higher unemployment. \nIn September 2025\, 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations gathered for coordinated advocacy on Parliament Hill\, meeting with parliamentarians from across the political spectrum\, sharing a clear and united message: equity in employment is not optional—and the time to act is now. \nIt’s time for the Employment Equity Act to explicitly include 2SLGBTQIA+ and Black communities as designated groups\, and to include stronger intersectional\, transparent\, and accountable mechanisms that reflect today’s workplace realities. \nJoin us to learn about our proposed updates to the Act\, our advocacy work\, and how you can get involved! \nLearning objectives:\n\nUnderstand the gaps in the Employment Equity Act\nLearn about recommendations for the modernization of the Act\nExplore advocacy efforts and strategies\n\nTarget audience:\n\n2SLGBTQIA+ employees at Pride at Work Canada’s partner organizations\nEmployee Resource Group (ERG) leaders\nHR & DEI Professionals\n\nPanelists\n[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″] \n\nBilan Arte (she/her)\nNational Representative\, Human Rights Department\nCanadian Labour Congress \n[/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″] \nBilan Arte is an award-winning activist and organizer with over fifteen years of experience in campaigns\, leadership\, and movement building.
