2026-06-04 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto)
Inclusive Advantage

The Rainbow Ready Program is an initiative of the Rainbow Registered team at CQCC (formerly CGLCC).

This education program is aimed at fostering inclusivity and resilience in organizations and communities. The program is intended to provide training for both Rainbow Registered members and interesting parties across the country.

The Rainbow Ready Program is positioned to set a new standard for diversity and inclusion training, with a focus on practical impact and measurable results. Completion of Module 1 is intended as an onboarding standard across relevant sectors, (i.e. employees in tourism and culture).

The training consists of two modules:

Module 1 – Rainbow Ready: Foundations (self-paced, pre-requisite for Module 2)An interactive, self-paced course designed to build foundational knowledge of 2SLGBTQ+ inclusion, terminology, and best practices. (register now if you have not completed this already: Rainbow Ready Registration / Inscription Modèle Arc-en-ciel)

Module 2 – Rainbow Ready: Inclusive Advantage (facilitated)A live, online, facilitated workshop that deepens understanding, explores real-world scenarios, and equips participants with actionable strategies for creating inclusive environments.

Please come prepared to participate – the group will be diving into scenarios and discussions.

Making Inclusion S.T.I.C.K.
2026-06-24 14:00 - 15:30
A 6 Week NeuroNarrative Learning Cohort for Sustainable Workplace Change

with Terrence Taylor

Making Inclusion S.T.I.C.K is a NeuroNarrative-based learning cohort designed to help individuals and teams move beyond one-time diversity and inclusion training and into consistent, real-world application.Most inclusion training creates awareness — but struggles to create lasting change. This cohort focuses on what happens after the session ends

Through a structured learning journey built on three core elements — Map, Legend and Compass — participants will:

Map: Identify real-world moments where inclusion and exclusion show up in their work

Legend: Understand practical frameworks and patterns for responding effectively

Compass: Apply what they’ve learned through guided reflection, weekly prompts, and real-life integration

Participants begin with a live session, followed by a series of self-guided activities and reflections over several weeks and conclude with a final session focused on integration and forward action.

This approach ensures that inclusion is not treated as a moment, but as an ongoing practice — one that is reinforced, revisited and sustained over time.
