A: The Employment Equity Partners’ (EEP) is a public-private sector partnership on data-driven solutions to systemic racism and inequitable employment in Canada. The EEP works with corporate sector employers and larger non-profits to benchmark the diversity of their current workforce and co-develop pathways for engaging talents from under-represented communities, including Indigenous, Black and other racialized groups.  Through an intersectional approach, our Workplace Equity Scorecards highlight systemic and structural barriers to equitable and meaningful employment for equity-seeking groups.  

A: The theme of our Roundtable: “Partnership for an Inclusive Future,” examines the best practices for employment equity by discussing systemic racism and discrimination in the workplace, how power and privilege manifests, eliminating biases, and pathways for accountability to advance an inclusive future for the workplace.

A: Research has shown that the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the already existing systemic barriers to economic and social wellbeing for racialized and marginalized communities. This roundtable will discuss how we can do better in the future.

A: The Partners Roundtable is co-hosted by the Global Centre for Pluralism and supported by the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business.

A: The current plan is to host a three-day hybrid event, which is a combination of in-person and virtual conferences. We are hoping, COVID-19 rules permitting, to host discussions on April 27 and 28 online, and to hold a limited-capacity in-person event in Ottawa, ON, on April 29.

To accommodate attendees outside of the National Capital Region, the in-person event on April 29 will broadcast online via Whova & Zoom.  

A: A hybrid event (in-person and virtual) requires a great deal of staff time for preparation, communication, engagement, design, and technical arrangements, such as access to digital platforms, and processing registrations.

The organizers offer flexible ticket rates for early bird registration, group bookings, and students.

As part of our commitment to support our youth community, various Indigenous communities, and non-profit organizations, we will offer a limited number of complimentary tickets. With sponsors’ support, we plan to offer more.
