Pride in Construction 2025 - Community Engagement Event
From its humble beginnings as a passionate call to action in 2021, Pride in Construction spearheaded a movement to eradicate verbal and psychological abuse endured by members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community on construction sites. Through tireless advocacy, construction site visits, and global media attention, the group flipped the narrative to celebrate individuals, not just their skills.
Now in 2025, after a successful inaugural event last year, we want to continue that work and invite you to be a part of the Pride in Construction event at SAIT Polytechnic hosted in partnership with the not-for-profit DiversiTrade Resource and Connection Centre. There will be an opportunity to attend a Fireside Chat in the morning, visit vendor booths in the afternoon and chat with organizations who are proud to support a diverse workforce. Additionally, positive partners will be in attendance to show their support.
Let’s come together and discover innovative strategies, hear inspiring stories, and join hands with industry leaders, advocates, and allies as we pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future in construction.
To find more details about the event and register for the free Fireside chat (limited seating available) please visit eventbrite.ca.
Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
