SUMMARY:Empowering 2SLGBTQIA+ Workers in Energy: From the Office to the Field [In French]
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 14 2026 1PM to 2:30PM ET – This webinar is taking place in English on March 17. \nCanada’s energy sector is evolving\, but for 2SLGBTQIA+ workers\, jobsites remain high-risk environments where harassment\, hypermasculinity\, and isolation are still seen as just part of the job. Based on the recent report “Empowering 2SLGBTQIA+ Workers in Energy\,” published by Pride at Work Canada\, this webinar offers concrete actions employers\, unions\, and community partners can take. \nOver 90 minutes\, we’ll begin with a brief presentation of key findings from the national qualitative study involving 2SLGBTQIA+ workers\, business and people leaders\, and community organizers. We’ll then move to a facilitated panel featuring experts\, industry leaders\, and community organizations\, demonstrating how these findings can be put into practice\, followed by an open Q&A. \nTogether\, we’ll examine how homophobia and transphobia manifest on job sites\, how office-focused DEI efforts often fail to reach field-based workers\, and what is needed to rewire systems so that psychological and physical safety are seen as inseparable. We’ll also showcase promising practices: simple communication strategies\, inclusive infrastructure\, accountability mechanisms\, and the roles of ERGs\, mentorship\, and leadership in fostering lasting change. \nFormat\n90-minute webinar: \n\n15 min – presentation of key research findings\n45 min – panel discussion (3 speakers)\n30 min – audience Q&A / group discussion\n\nKey learning outcomes\nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nRecognize common ways homophobia and transphobia appear in energy workplaces\, and how these behaviours impact inclusion\, safety\, and retention.\nIdentify gaps between office-centric DEI initiatives and field-based work\, and understand why closing these gaps is essential to genuine workplace inclusion.\nApply the guide’s recommendations for practical actions to advance 2SLGBTQIA+ safety and inclusion.\n\nPanelists\n[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″] \n \n\nJennifer Petrela (she/her)\nExecutive Director\, Mentorat Québec \n[/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″] \nJennifer Petrela (she/her) is the executive director of Mentorat Québec and an expert in inclusive mentoring.

SUMMARY:Calgary Roundtable: Outside the Main Office
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Norton Rose Fulbright\nApril 16\, 2026 | 12PM – 1:30PM MST | By Invitation* \nPride at Work Canada is pleased to convene employers\, leaders\, and equity practitioners for a Calgary-based roundtable hosted by Norton Rose Fulbright. 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\n\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.
