Kingston, Ontario and Canada are becoming home to an increasing number of newcomer communities.
The workforce of today and tomorrow is diverse in terms of race, gender & sexuality, ability, linguistic skills, religion and more. Creating an inclusive workplace and community is a must-do for all organizations.
