EHRC’s Flagship Event on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Open to everyone within and beyond the electricity sector.

Agents of Change is a transformative one-day event advancing and celebrating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in workplaces across the country.

Featuring an exciting lineup of guest speakers and engaging sessions, we explore current and emerging DEI best practices 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.

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.

Agents of Change offers 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.
