Diversity & Inclusion Awareness Poster Kit
The Grey Bruce Local Immigration Partnership has put together posters that embody the spirit of an inclusive and welcoming community. By putting up these posters you create a clear communication on a supportive work culture. Even something as simple as a poster can change how people perceive their fellow employees and the people they work for.

Significant portions of Canada’s workforce have training and experience gained outside Canada. These internationally trained workers (ITWs), including immigrants, refugees, international students and Canadians who trained or worked outside of the country, represent a valuable source of skills and talent and a growing proportion of Canada’s talent pool.
