 Join us for next month's free webinar: “Black Futures Month: Cultivating Safer Workplaces for Black Employees” on Wednesday, February 8 from 10am-11:30am PT with Shalyma Cambridge, COC and Shelley-Anne Vidal from the HRx team.
Since the first person of African descent first arrived, in 1608, on the soil of what we now call Canada, the Black population in this country has grown to over 1.2 million people.
