Who we are
Pride at Work Canada was founded in May 2008 by a group of dedicated individuals with a vision – to improve the climate of inclusiveness for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-identified (LGBT) employees in the workplace.
The aim of the founding partners was to put the case for LGBT diversity and inclusion on the mainstream business agenda by winning the support of Corporate Partners. That aim has blossomed into our mission, vision and values.
A volunteer-led non-profit organization, Pride at Work Canada is governed by our Board of Directors – consisting of volunteers from across the country — and a full-time Executive Director. The board works with various committees to plan and execute programs and events across Canada.
Symbolic of our commitment to diversity, our Corporate Partners come from a wide range of sectors, including: telecommunications, financial services, marketing, management consulting, law, retail, and the public sector.
