A transformative event advancing and celebrating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in workplaces across the country.
Wednesday, May. 14, 2025 | Toronto, ON
Featuring an exciting lineup of guest speakers and engaging sessions, we explore current and emerging DEI best practices both within Canada and globally. Our speakers and attendees bring diverse backgrounds and unique perspectives to share stories, learn from experiences and create connections to foster inclusive workplaces.
The Agent of Change Award recognizes and celebrates exemplary leadership in advancing diversity, equity and inclusion. This award is presented annually to someone in Canada’s electricity sector who consistently demonstrates commitment, passion and impact in the workplace.
We are proud to recognize Susanna Zazgar, CEO of the Ontario Energy Board, as our 2025 recipient.
Ms. Zagar has been a transformative force at the OEB, championing DEI initiatives that have significantly enhanced the organization’s culture and employee satisfaction. Her efforts have not only fostered a more inclusive workplace but have also set a benchmark for the entire electricity industry.
Since its launch in 2018, Agents of Change has been an exceptional professional development opportunity for HR professionals, students and new graduates, company leaders and DEI champions. We are proud to provide a platform that brings together employers, unions, academia, associations, nonprofits and government.
Each year, attendees tell us they leave inspired and equipped with new knowledge and resources to empower underrepresented individuals in their workplaces – not just in the electricity sector, but in industries nationwide.
Thank you to our sponsors for their support of Agents of Change 2025.
