Supplier Diversity Alliance Canada (SDAC)

The Supplier Diversity Alliance Canada (SDAC) was established in 2016 with the intention of advancing supplier diversity in Canada. The SDAC is composed of four national supplier diversity councils that specialize in certifying diverse suppliers – Women Business Enterprises Canada Council (WBE Canada), Canadian Aboriginal, Minority Council Canada (CAMSC), Canadian 2SLGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce (CQCC) and Inclusive Workplace and Supply Chain Canada (IWSCC).

Collaborating and aligning efforts in key areas, the SDAC strives to improve economic opportunities for diverse certified suppliers from across the country, while assisting the various stakeholders in achieving their collective mandates. SDAC focuses on three core activities: Advocacy, Research, and Learning. The SDAC supports and informs governments, businesses and key stakeholders on the importance of inclusive procurement policies and practices through supplier diversity, leading to value with economic growth and social impact.

Navigating 2SLGBTQI+ Diversity & Inclusion in the Tourism Industry – Webinar (July 27th, 2022)
2022-07-27 13:00 - 16:00
The global 2SLGBTQI+ travel market is valued at more than US$200B annually. Canadian destinations are well positioned to grow their share of this market. But in order to be successful, destinations and operators must ensure that 2SLGBTQI+ customers feel welcome, accepted and are served in a way that exceeds their expectations and accommodates their needs.

To support efforts in developing market-ready products, CQCC’s Navigating 2SLGBTQI+ Diversity and Inclusion in the Tourism Industry helps tourism-based businesses learn about 2SLGBTQI+ inclusion and how to effectively understand, value, and serve 2SLGBTQI+ customers and employees.

This training is presented as a workshop webinar, live via Zoom.

The webinar is being filmed in Halifax. All times are in ADT.
