Working on the waterfront takes more than physical strength — it takes mental & emotional strength, too. This #MentalHealthWeek, let’s unmask mental health, check in with each other, and work together to foster a #BCwaterfront where wellbeing is just as important as safety. 💙

Not sure what #2SLGBTQIA+ stands for? 🌈 It’s more than an acronym – it reflects the diversity of the queer community. Real people. Real identities. Real experiences. Understanding it is a powerful step toward #allyship. 💙

True #allyship isn’t seasonal. Neither is inclusion. 🌈 Supporting the #2SLGBTQIA+ community means showing up year-round — in your policies, your hiring, your language, and the moments no one sees. How are you making space beyond #Pride month?

Misused someone’s pronouns? Your instinct might be to over-apologize — but that can do more harm than good. A thoughtful, simple apology goes further. 👉 Swipe to learn how. #PrideMonth #AllyshipInAction

When someone says something that isn't inclusive - whether intentional or not - it’s important to speak up and address it. But how we do it matters. Calling in (instead of calling out) creates space for learning and accountability. 💬 Swipe for examples. 👉

Inclusive design strengthens teams, sparks innovation & supports belonging. #DisabilityPrideMonth is a reminder of what’s possible when we move beyond accommodation and embrace inclusion as the standard rather than box to check.
