For the OCC and its members, the business case is simple: diversity and inclusion are a precondition to Ontario’s recovery and economic prosperity.
At this event, we will sit down with the Government of Ontario to discuss why this isn’t just a women’s issue, but an economic one that must be addressed if recovery efforts are to succeed.
