Our Commitment to Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity
"When we bring together individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, genders, ethnicities, and abilities, we create a dynamic tapestry of knowledge and creativity. It is within this diverse tapestry that new ideas are born, nurtured, and transformed into groundbreaking innovations. Diversity sparks curiosity, challenges assumptions, and broadens our horizons. It encourages us to step outside of our comfort zones, explore uncharted territories, and seek unconventional solutions. It allows us to see problems from multiple angles, enabling us to devise innovative strategies and approaches that push the boundaries of what's possible."

Cultural Communities and Addressing Societal Challenges
Embracing Black Experiences
February 1st, 2023 | Black History Month
February marks Black History Month. Black History Month is an opportunity for many to embrace our society, and embrace African culture and understand the great contributions that they have made to our society. Today, African Canadians have greatly shaped our nation, and have helped Canada grow and develop for many generations. Black Canadians and their communities have shaped Canada's legacy, and continue to do so today. Join Calvin Industries as we explore the societal issues that are sparking racism and racist acts; is it something to do with the individual, or is it something to do with society as a whole?
Embracing Asian Experiences
May 1st, 2023 | Asian Heritage Month
In May, we celebrate Asian-Canadians that strive to make a difference in our society. Asian Heritage Month is a time to recognize and honor the contributions of individuals from Asian backgrounds who have left a lasting impact on Canada. From trailblazing leaders to innovative artists, these individuals have shaped our cultural landscape and enriched the fabric of our nation. Yet, racism still has been problematic not just in Canada; but internationally.
