Pride at Work Canada seeks to create space for professional and job-seeking trans\, non-binary and agender people to find support from and make connections with one another. We hope to be responsive to the needs and suggestions expressed by our attendees as this feedback helps to shape future events. \nWho should attend? \nThe purpose of this event is to provide space for folks who identify as trans\, non-binary and agender. There is no desire to monitor anyone’s gender or create barriers to entry. If you come to this event you will be welcome. While the support of people who identify as allies to trans people and communities is always appreciated please remember that the best support sometimes comes in the form of leaving space for people to connect around their shared identities and lived experiences. \nWho can answer my questions about the event? \nPlease direct questions about this event to Iyol Martinez (they/them)\, Leadership Programs Coordinator at iyol.martinez@prideatwork.ca. You may also contact events@prideatwork.ca with questions about any Pride at Work Canada events and activities. \nAccessibility \n\nCaptioning provided by 3 Play Media Canada\nIf you have any accessibility requests please email iyol.martinez@prideatwork.ca with requests by March 1\, 2024\n\nLimited number of participants in this free networking event for trans\, non-binary and agender people.\nRegistration for this event has closed.
