Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at canfitpro isn’t just a blog post, an image, or a tweet. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are priorities for our organization. From our recruitment policies, to our organizational processes, to our partnerships - we embrace a culture of learning, authenticity, and creating safe and barrier-free spaces for all.

Reflected in our core commitments, we value and co-create an open and caring community which extends beyond the walls of canfitpro. We’re never satisfied with the status quo. Our ongoing efforts are towards bridging gaps through learning and growth, and ensuring that the voices of the unheard, be heard.

Our COMMITMENTS in action for Positive Change

Created an Employee driven Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee, to champion both internal and external positive change and to keep us accountable to our members and employees.

Ongoing review of hiring and promotion policies and practices to maintain a balanced internal representation goal at all employment levels.

Curation of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion learning resources and training for employees, including blogs, webinars, and articles to our wider community.

Amplify the voice of diversity in fitness by intentional recruitment of a diverse speaker pool, collaborating with strategic partners, and the selection of our Advisory Committee
