Foundations of Change: Building Inclusive Leadership in Canadian Real Estate

 

Join us for an interactive and engaging conversation with key industry leaders on how they are moving the needle forward to build inclusive leadership in our sector. As DEI faces mounting challenges in the U.S., Canada stands at a crossroads—balancing its reputation for inclusion with the realities of slow progress in male-dominated industries like commercial real estate. This panel brings together some of Canada’s leading voices in the sector to explore how the industry is evolving, where it’s falling short, and what meaningful change looks like in practice. From boardrooms to building sites, we’ll unpack the shifting global landscape of DEI, contrast it with Canada’s approach, and ask: are we truly moving forward, or just treading water?

Snacks and beverages will be served throughout the event.
