Sudbury Women's Centre

Published purpose

Through this 33-month systemic change project, Sudbury Women’s Centre will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers within high-paying, male-dominated industries such as mining, construction, and engineering. These industries provide a vast majority of the stable, quality positions within Northern Ontario’s employment market. The project will achieve this by conducting a needs assessment; developing both online training and a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion assessment tool; creating a collaborative network of relevant agencies, which will then be used to distribute resources and knowledge to organizations within these industries; and testing these resources with individual women and employers. The project will also undertake research into the sustainability of the activities. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
