RESOURCES TOOLKITS PAST EDITIONS FRANÇAIS

August 2024

Hello everyone!

As we move through 2024, our dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion remains unwavering. For over a decade, CCDI has been committed to fostering inclusive, workplaces, schools, and communities across Canada, and this mission continues to drive us.

Recently, we sold our subsidiary, CCDI Consulting, to Diversio. This positive change has not affected our core operations. We continue to offer our extensive range of events, knowledge solutions, and resources to support your DEI efforts.

I invite you to join us for our monthly webinars, our fall Community of Practice events, and our 2025 CCDI UnConference. These initiatives are part of our ongoing effort to provide expert, pan-diversity education and resources that make a sustainable impact.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Partner Relations manager or email us at mail@ccdi.ca.

Together, we envision a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, with equal access to opportunities and resources. Let’s continue to promote understanding and inclusivity, building a more equitable and just society for all.

Warm regards,

Anne-Marie Pham

CEO
