A conversation with Hanna Nigussie about construction and her co-op term at Chandos.

June is Pride Month, a time when we celebrate the 2SLGBTQI+ community, culture, and contributions. Today, supplier diversity is used as a business tool, commonly requested on RFPs from clients and subtrades, to ensure equity in economic opportunity. We are proud to partner with supplier diversity organizations like Canada’s 2LSBGTQI+ Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC), who exist to support queer-owned businesses and help them break barriers with diverse supplier certifications and connections to companies interested in diversifying their supply chain.

June 21 is National Indigenous People's Day and when we celebrate Indigenous people, heritage, history, and an annual reminder of the work that still needs to be done. Across the AEC industry, companies and clients are recognizing how important it is to increase Indigenous participation on projects.
