Commitment to Diversity

At Hydro Ottawa, we believe that creating space to appreciate and benefit from our differences results in a stronger, more resilient, and engaging workplace. A diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve, and an inclusive workplace where all employees feel they belong and that their unique contributions are valued spurs innovation, drives growth and enhances the customer experience.

Our Pride Network was established in 2013, following the creation of our first of three consecutive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Plans. This employee-led network has been instrumental in raising awareness and hosting internal educational initiatives on emerging issues in support of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, including participation in Capital Pride and International Day of Pink.

Vision for the Future

As an organization, Hydro Ottawa strives to create and sustain a welcoming supportive culture where all employees are recognized and valued for their unique perspectives and skills. Our goal is to ensure our business practices are fair and free of barriers, and that all our employees are supported and have opportunities to advance.

While we have been on this journey for many years, we know there is still work to be done. We are committed to continuing to support and embrace the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and its allies by listening, learning and actioning change.
