Voices of RPIA

In Our Firm

Multiculturalism Day

In celebration of Multiculturalism Day, our Allyship Committee hosted a week-long potluck where team members brought delicious traditional foods representing their cultures from around the world! Multiculturalism Day honours the many cultural communities that contribute to developing a strong and lively Canadian society. We used this occasion to celebrate the cultural diversity that enriches RPIA and reaffirm our commitment to equity, inclusion, and mutual respect.

International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples

To commemorate the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, our firm was fortunate to have Trevor Stratton from CAAN (Communities, Alliances & Networks) join us for a heartfelt and informative discussion. Trevor shared his personal story and shed light on the many social issues that disproportionately affect Canada’s Indigenous communities and the effects of multi-generational trauma and Indigenous-settler relations. After the presentation, we had an open discussion and Q&A session about the actions we can take to achieve equity for these communities.
