Event Description:
Canada's 2SLGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC) partnership with Hospitality NL and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) are hosting Diversity & Inclusion training for the Tourism Industry. 

To support efforts in developing market-ready products, CGLCC’s Navigating 2SLGBTQI+ Diversity and Inclusion in the Tourism Industry workshop helps tourism-based businesses learn about 2SLGBTQI+ inclusion and how to effectively understand, value, and serve 2SLGBTQI+ customers and employees. An in-depth overview of the 2SLGBTQI+ travel market and best practices for welcoming 2SLGBTQI+ travellers to your community is also highlighted.

This 3-hour interactive workshop:
  • Provides an introduction to terms and definitions regarding the diversity of the 2SLGBTQI+ community and an opportunity to ask questions.
  • Discusses the impact of homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism in the workplace.
  • Discusses why safe spaces are important and what they look like.
  • Reviews the bottom line, specifically the internal and external benefits of 2SLGBTQI+ inclusive space.
  • Introduces new strategies when interacting with 2SLGBTQI+ employees and customers.
  • Provides an opportunity to put new concepts and learning into practice.
  • Gives staff an opportunity to brainstorm ways to create 2SLGBTQI+ inclusive spaces both proactively and reactively.
The training will be facilitated by TJ Jones of Full Picture Management

Please join us from 9:00am - 9:30am for refreshments and networking. The training will begin at 9:30am sharp.
