The Canadian Human Rights Commission is pleased to announce that the fourth Discrimination Prevention Forum will be held at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, November 23-25, 2010.

Purpose of the Forum

The Discrimination Prevention Forum is an avenue for human rights stakeholders to share best practices on emerging issues of discrimination in the workplace. It gathers hundreds of leaders and decision makers from government, private sector and non profit organizations across Canada.

Aboriginal focus

This year, the Commission's Discrimination Prevention Branch is teaming up with its National Aboriginal Initiative office to focus on workplace enablers for Canada's Aboriginal Peoples. The theme, "Circle of Awareness, Cycle of Growth," conveys that knowledge and cultural sensitivity are key to fostering positive relationships in the workplace.
