We are excited to announce that WiDS is collaborating with the working subcommittee on Gender Equity for the Defence Industry Advisory Group (DIAG).  Made up of Industry and Government leaders from ISED, DND, and PSPC, the subcommittee was struck to examine the state of gender diversity within the Defence and Security Industries.   

WiDS is supporting this important work promoting their Focus Group to solicit your feedback.  We want to hear from you!  What are the barriers or hurdles you encounter?  Does your employer have best practices that promote women’s full participation in the defence and security industries?  What do you think can be done to increase the number of women in our industry?

Your participation and feedback will help inform the final report to be presented to DIAG in September 2019.  The event will provide you with a forum to discuss your opinions and experiences, and have your voices be heard.

• For those in the National Capitol Region, we hope to count on your active participation and have you join us for what promises to be engaging and productive dialogue.  The in person group is limited to 25 seats.
  • Monday, 3 June
  • 1600-1800
  • Rideau Club, 99 Bank Street
• For our members across Canada, we hope to count on your participation and have your voice be heard via a Survey. Please register to receive a link to the survey.
