SUMMARY:Halifax Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:July 22nd\, 2026 | 12PM – 1:30PM ADT\nHosted by CBCL\n1505 Barrington St Suite 901\, Halifax\, NS B3J 2R7\n \nPride at Work Canada is pleased to convene employers\, leaders\, and equity practitioners for a Halifax-based roundtable hosted by CBCL. Inspired by the report “Empowering 2SLGBTQIA+ Workers in Energy\,” this discussion will explore what inclusion looks like beyond headquarters—across worksites\, client locations\, field operations\, and other non-traditional or decentralized workplaces. \nParticipants will engage in a candid\, peer-based conversation about the unique challenges and opportunities facing 2SLGBTQIA+ workers in energy and related sectors\, particularly where organizational culture\, policies\, and supports must travel outside the main office. The roundtable will examine how employers can foster safety\, belonging\, and visibility in environments shaped by geography\, operational demands\, and legacy norms. \nThis session is designed to surface practical strategies\, emerging practices\, and shared accountability for advancing inclusion where it is often hardest to sustain.\nDiscussion topics will include: \n\nCreating inclusive cultures across remote\, field-based\, and client-facing environments\nSupporting 2SLGBTQIA+ employees in traditionally male-dominated or high-risk worksites\nLeadership responsibility and allyship outside corporate headquarters\nPolicy implementation\, accountability\, and adaptability across locations\nLessons learned from the energy sector and transferable insights for other industries\n\nThis roundtable is open to Pride at Work Canada member organizations and invited guests. Participation is encouraged from HR\, DEI professionals\, senior leaders\, and those responsible for workforce culture and operations. \nAccessibility\n\nSpoken language: English\nPlease inform us of any accessibility requests upon confirmation of registration. Any questions may be sent to events@prideatwork.ca\n\n\n* About Our Invitation-Based Events \nPride at Work Canada regularly hosts small\, intentional roundtables and gatherings across the country that bring together voices from government\, business\, advocacy\, and community sectors. These spaces are designed to support honest dialogue\, knowledge exchange\, and strategic collaboration. \nParticipation is by invitation to ensure a balanced group across types of organizations\, identities\, sectors\, and lived experiences related to the themes at hand.
