Bruce Power joins people across Canada in celebrating diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) this month by proudly supporting community Pride events.
The month of June is Pride Month. Dedicated to commemorating and celebrating the diversity of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, Pride Month provides an opportunity for friends and families to come together in recognition of each person’s beauty, talent, resilience, and contribution.
“Bruce Power believes in its people – all people,” said Chris Mudrick, Bruce Power’s Chief Nuclear Officer and Executive Vice-President, who also serves as chair of the company’s DE&I Steering Committee. “We whole-heartedly foster and support a workforce and community that is inclusive, supportive and free of discrimination. Participating in local Pride events allows us the opportunity to openly and proudly show this support to all members of our communities.”
