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.
