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.
