The goal of this years campaign theme, #EmbraceEquity, is to raise awareness about why equal opportunities are insufficient. Since everyone has a different starting point, achieving true inclusion and belonging calls for equitable action. Equality is the goal, and equity is the means to get there.
Since the very beginning, La Canadienne has been driven by the desire to empower women. Over 60% of the La Canadienne team across our head office, stores, and factory are women, so celebrating and supporting women is especially important to us.
Over the years, we've partnered with a number of women-focused organizations including La Rue des Femmes, a non-profit that welcomes and cares for women who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, as well as the Cure Foundation, which offers a range of supportive services for breast cancer patients and their families.
