Racialized individuals represent 28.4% of the population in key Canadian cities but only hold 10.4% of board positions.
- Racialized individuals represent 28.4% of the population in key Canadian cities but only hold 10.4% of board positions.
- However, not all leadership journeys look the same — especially for those who belong to equity-deserving communities," shares Leslie Woo, CEO, CivicAction.
- "The data tells us that our leadership tables exclude racialized voices and their much-needed perspectives and lived experiences.
- We're addressing this issue and expanding and investing in our country's leadership pipelines with the introduction of BoardShift."
