2nd IDEAS4GenderEquality Innovation Challenge Event 2023

May 18th – Whitehorse

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH EQUAL FUTURES NETWORK

We are excited to be facilitating our 2nd IDEAS 4 Gender Equality Innovative Challenge at Equal Futures Network’s 2023 Summit.

The theme is People, Perspectives and Partnerships.  Building off the success of our inaugural summit in June 2022, Equal Futures 2023 will be held on the traditional territories of Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council, also known as Whitehorse, from May 17-18, 2023. The summit will gather the gender equality movement, in all its diversity, from coast to coast to coast to share expertise, strengthen capacity and shape a path towards a more equitable and inclusive Canada. Through the theme of “People, Perspectives and Partnerships”, the summit will centre the diversity of voices that make up the gender equality movement, share experiences from the North and highlight the unique challenges faced by northern and rural communities.

They engaged in the five-step IDEAS Solution-building process.  The pilot for the Person-Centric Hiring Solution was completed by fresh-eyed reviewers in the summer of 2023. The Official Launch for the online Hiring Solution was held in conjunction with the Oct 18th, 2023 Hybrid event in Montreal.
