Description
Every August, Public Service Pride Week shines a light on the shared journey and the progress achieved in creating a workplace that includes everyone.
Hosted in partnership with the Public Service Pride Network, this event will deliver an engaging 60-minute newscast that will bring together public servants who identify as part of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, as well as supportive allies. Through dynamic and informative segments, public servants will share their personal experiences and stories that reflect the diversity and strength of the public service.
Participants will gain insight into the ongoing efforts to foster greater inclusion, ensuring all employees—including 2SLGBTQIA+ employees—feel a genuine sense of belonging.
