Grey Bruce Employers and members of the Owen Sound Chamber of Commerce are invited to apply for The School of Refl(Act)ion.

Created by the Diversity & Inclusion in Rural Workplace project, and led by the Owen Sound Chamber of Commerce and Welcoming Communities Grey Bruce, The School of Refl(Act)ion is a co-learning space designed for difficult conversations about racism and discrimination.
