Â鶹´«Ã½

Â鶹´«Ã½ is taking a big step towards building a more inclusive business landscape by participating in the Canadian Aboriginal and Minority Supplier Council’s (CAMSC) Supplier Diversity Pilot Program in Nova Scotia. This program aligns perfectly with Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s ongoing mission to champion equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility within the university and the broader community.

Joining CAMSC grants Â鶹´«Ã½ access to a wider range of qualified, diverse-owned businesses. This not only expands their sourcing options but also contributes directly to the economic empowerment of underrepresented groups within the province. By fostering a more diverse supplier network, Â鶹´«Ã½ strengthens business relationships and contributes to a more equitable and prosperous Mi’kma’ki (the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq). This initiative reflects a growing trend in institutional procurement, with many organizations recognizing the value of supplier diversity and actively seeking to expand their networks.

The theme was ‘Advancing Supplier Diversity: Strategies and Initiatives in a Canadian Context’ which included corporate partners sharing their supplier diversity strategies and programs. Â鶹´«Ã½ connected with certified diverse suppliers who attended the event to promote their products and services. So much talent in Nova Scotia!
