Second language English speakers are increasingly represented as the world becomes more global. Here are some strategies to create more equitable access to vital learning materials:​

1.) Represent diverse perspectives in learning materials
Traditional learning materials often portray facts and information from an ethnocentric perspectives barring students with diverse backgrounds from resonating with the material.

2.) Encourage multilingual students to speak about their experiences.

Throughout the development of the Canadian education system, foreign languages were often disparaged and stigmatized leading to ostracizing and bullying. Positively encouraging students to culturally exchange with other students and share their experience makes students more likely to feel accepted and facilitates their learning experience.  
3.) Introduce multilingual team building activities 
Team building activities help promote an equitable and inclusive environment by breaking down barriers and allowing students to come together and celebrate cultural and linguistic differences. 

Disabled employees often find themselves in inequitable work conditions which makes it difficult for them to work in a safe and supportive environment. Promoting equality and accessibility for disabled workers in the workplace is an essential aspect of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
 
1. Increase Diversity: Promoting equality and accessibility for disabled workers will lead to increased diversity in the workplace and will help to eliminate bias in hiring and promotion processes.

2. Boost Productivity: Disabled workers have skills and talents similar to any other worker; often, accommodations made for them in the workplace will increase productivity for all workers.

3. Attract and Retain Talent: By ensuring accessibility, companies can attract and retain disabled workers who have the potential to add value to their workplaces.

4. Positive Reputation: When a company is known for being inclusive and accessible to disabled workers, it can enhance its brand reputation, resulting in increased consumer loyalty

5. Comply with Regulations: Compliance with accessibility regulations and laws can protect companies from litigation and other legal issues while helping to ensure that disabled workers are getting the support they need to thrive in the workplace.

Mother's day is among us and so brings the perfect opportunity to shed light on the diverse contributions of women in society. Here are some ways to champion diversity as mom's big day approaches:
​
1. Celebrating Motherhood as Empowerment: Mother's Day is a great opportunity to celebrate the strength and resilience of mothers, who have played a vital role in shaping our society, communities, and families. Mothers are often underrepresented and undervalued in the workplace and beyond, but this day is a chance to elevate their voices and highlight their achievements.

2. Recognizing Diversity in Motherhood: It's important to recognize that motherhood takes many forms. While traditional gender norms dictate that motherhood is limited to cis-gendered women who give birth, this is not the reality for all families. Motherhood can be experienced by any parent who loves and cares for a child, regardless of their gender identity or biological sex.

3. Honoring Intersectionality: While Mother's Day is typically associated with celebrating motherhood, it's important to acknowledge that not all mothers experience the same privileges or barriers. Intersectionality reminds us that motherhood is intertwined with other identities, such as race, class, ability, and sexual orientation. This means that some mothers face unique challenges that others may not experience.

4. Challenging the Motherhood Penalty: The motherhood penalty is a systemic bias against mothers in the workplace, leading to fewer job opportunities, lower pay, and diminished professional advancement. Recognizing and fighting against this penalty is crucial for creating a more equitable and inclusive workforce that values the contributions of all parents.

5. Reflecting on the Work that Still Needs to be Done: While we celebrate the progress that has been made towards gender equality and diversity in recent years, this Mother's Day is a reminder that there is still a lot of work to do. By recognizing the strengths, diversity, and unique challenges faced by mothers, we can continue to create a more just and equitable society for all.
