Black History Month Program 2021: A Strategy Toolkit for BIPOC Inclusion

Please join the Law Society of Ontario and the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers (CABL) for our annual Black History Month program on February 25, 2021, 6-7:30 p.m.

A virtual panel discussion exploring Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) from a BIPOC perspective, with a focus on strategies to overcome systemic anti-Black racism. While there is increased recognition of the importance of EDI, many individuals and organizations still struggle to implement meaningful changes in the workplace. Our panelists will discuss concrete tools and strategies to institute impactful change.
