Removing barriers to equity through economic development programs

As a leading national voice focused on enhancing, promoting, and advancing the social, economic, and cultural well-being of all Canadian Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse people, it’s no surprise that NWAC’s Economic Development Unit has been busy working on a multi-year project. Called Workplace Opportunities: Removing Barriers to Equity, this initiative supports federally regulated employers in their efforts to:

  • improve the representation of Indigenous women, Two-Spirit, and gender-diverse people with disabilities

  • increase understanding of the barriers they face in the workplace

  • develop new inclusion tools and human resources for these employees

To date, NWAC, along with relevant like-minded industry partners, has organized several highly fruitful engagement sessions across the country with hundreds of Indigenous women, Two-Spirit, and gender-diverse people. The lived experiences and impactful accounts that were shared provide meaningful takeaways and will form the basis of our insightful and influential training material for federally regulated employers.
