SUMMARY:Field-Centred 2SLGBTQIA+ DEI Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 8 | 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET \nMany organizations have made meaningful investments in 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion—but too often those efforts are experienced differently for employees working outside of a corporate office. This webinar examines how employers can close the office-to-field gap and create inclusion strategies that respond to the realities of the entire workforce. \nParticipants will explore practical approaches for extending inclusion beyond the head office\, including how to ensure field workers\, trades workers\, shift workers\, contractors\, and regional teams have meaningful access to inclusion efforts\, employee networks\, reporting pathways\, and leadership support. The session also offers guidance on designing decentralized strategies that are practical\, sustainable\, and responsive to operational environments. \nThis is a free webinar offered as part of the “Empowering 2SLGBTQIA+ Workers in Energy” project\, funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada. \nLearning Objectives\n\nUnderstand the impact of office-centered DEI strategies when they fail to reach employees outside the main office\nIdentify gaps in access to information and training on inclusion and belonging\, ERGs and employee networks\, communications\, reporting pathways\, and leadership support for employees outside the main office\nGain strategies to design field-relevant inclusion actions\n\nAudience\n\nExecutive and senior leaders\nHR\, DEI\, and labour relations teams\nUnion representatives and stewards\nERG/affinity group leaders\nERG executive sponsors\n\nAccessibility:\n\nSpoken language: English\nClosed captioning provided: English\nFormat: Virtual (Zoom in webinar mode)\nEngagement type: participants invited to engage via chat (no audio or video)\n\nPlease register below additional accessibility requests.

SUMMARY:ERGs and Supportive Leadership in the Energy Sector
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, October 20 | 11:00am – 12:00pm ET \nStrong employee resource groups (ERGs)\, visible leadership support\, and meaningful accountability can make a lasting difference in whether 2SLGBTQIA+ employees feel connected\, supported\, and motivated to build long-term careers in the energy sector.

The session also highlights the role of leaders and allies in creating workplaces where employees feel safe to contribute\, grow\, and stay.\nThis is a free webinar offered as part of the “Empowering 2SLGBTQIA+ Workers in Energy” project\, funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify barriers to recruitment\, retention\, and advancement for 2SLGBTQIA+ workers in energy.\nDevelop strategies to strengthen ERGs/affinity groups as strategic partners in organizational change\nDevelop practical metrics for leadership accountability that go beyond performative allyship.\n\nAudience\n\nExecutive and senior leaders\nSupervisors\, forepersons\, team leads\, and people managers\nUnion representatives and stewards\nHR\, DEI\, and labour relations teams\nERG/affinity group leaders\nERG executive sponsors\n\nAccessibility:\n\nSpoken language: English\nClosed captioning provided: English\nFormat: Virtual (Zoom in webinar mode)\nEngagement type: participants invited to engage via chat (no audio or video)\n\nPlease register below additional accessibility requests.

SUMMARY:SPARK Toronto 2026
DESCRIPTION:Find Inspiration. Leave with a new perspective. Spark impactful change. \nSPARK Toronto 2026 is an exclusive\, interactive event that convenes business leaders and 2SLGBTQIA+ changemakers to explore the evolving role of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and Affinity Networks in shaping inclusive workplaces. Designed to move beyond passive learning\, SPARK fosters meaningful\, face-to-face engagement with those driving organizational and cultural transformation across Canada and globally. \nThis is not a “sit and listen” event that can be replicated online. SPARK Toronto 2026 is a dynamic\, in-room experience focused on practical strategies\, peer exchange\, and actionable insights for organizations ready to invest in the next generation of inclusion leadership. \nThis Year’s Theme: Employee Groups\nEmployee Groups have long been a cornerstone of workplace inclusion—but their role is rapidly evolving. From grassroots community-building spaces to strategic drivers of organizational change\, ERGs are increasingly being called upon to influence talent development\, inform business strategy\, and respond to a complex and shifting socio-political landscape. \nSPARK Toronto 2026 will explore how Employee Groups can be resourced\, empowered\, and integrated into core business functions while maintaining their authenticity and community-driven roots. Through the voices of ERG leaders\, executives\, and community experts\, this year’s event will examine how organizations can unlock the full potential of Employee Groups to advance equity\, resilience\, and innovation. \nEvent Objectives:\n\nElevating ERG Impact: Explore leading practices for structuring\, funding\, and scaling Employee Groups as strategic partners within organizations.\nLeadership & Accountability: Examine the role of senior leadership in supporting ERGs and embedding inclusion into governance\, talent pipelines\, and organizational priorities.\nConnection & Community: Create space for meaningful dialogue between ERG leaders\, HR professionals\, and executives to share challenges\, successes\, and emerging approaches.\n\nRoundtable Discussion Themes:\n\nLeadership\, Sustainability\, and Engagement:\nExplore what it takes to build an employee group that can thrive for the long term. This roundtable will invite participants to share approaches to developing new leaders\, preventing burnout\, distributing responsibilities\, sustaining member engagement\, and recognizing the often-invisible labour behind employee group leadership.\nPride in a Polarized Environment:\nHow can employee groups respond when 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion faces increased scrutiny\, resistance\, or public debate? Participants will discuss strategies for navigating organizational uncertainty\, supporting community members\, maintaining meaningful inclusion commitments\, and helping their organizations move from reactive responses to sustained action.\nFrom Social Club to Strategic Partner:\nEmployee groups create vital spaces for connection and community\, but their potential can extend much further. This roundtable will explore how ERGs can strengthen their organizational influence\, build productive relationships with senior leaders\, contribute to policies and workplace practices\, and connect community priorities with broader organizational goals.\n\nHOST SPONSOR & LOCATION\n[vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″] \n[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″] \n\nEY\nEY Tower\n100 Adelaide St W – 40th Floor\nToronto\, ON M5H 0E2 \n[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row] \nAgenda:\n1:30 PM – 2:45 PM: Welcome and Opening Keynotes\n2:45 PM – 3:00 PM: Networking Session / Break\n3:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Employee Group Roundtable Discussions\n4:00 PM – 4:15 PM: Networking Session / Break\n4:15 PM – 5:00 PM: The Future of ERGs Panel and Closing\n5:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Networking Reception \nWhat Makes SPARK Unique?\n\nIntimacy and Access: This is an event where you don’t just hear from the leaders—you meet them.\nEmployee Perspectives: SPARK provides the rare opportunity to engage with advocates and experts from employee resource groups from a variety of organizations.\nFuture-Focused: With a focus on actionable insights\, attendees leave equipped to drive real change within their organizations.\n\nAudience:\n\nEmployee Resource Group Leaders\nExecutive Sponsors\nDEI and HR Professionals\n\nRegistration and Pricing\nLIMITED SEATS – Purchase your tickets as soon as possible.
