Sponsorship Opportunities
For over 30 years, in various locations across Canada, a community supporting gender equity and diversity in SETT has been gathering together. Since its founding, CCWESTT has continued the tradition of hosting biennial conferences, where participants learn and are inspired to take action toward creating a diverse and inclusive SETT workforce.
Driving forward the overarching goal of achieving full gender equity at all levels in SETT, the event welcomes and provides opportunities for the active participation of women, gender-diverse people, and allies in all areas of this sector. Themes explore workplace culture, policies, procedures and attitudes affecting the experiences of women and gender diverse people, identifying critical challenges for retaining a diverse and inclusive SETT workforce.
There are several sponsorship opportunities available for various budgets, please contact Ruby Sohi ruby@rbec.ca with any questions and to secure your sponsorship.

Program
Coming Soon!
CCWESTT acknowledges that our greater science, engineering, trades and technology (or SETT) community is situated on the ceded and unceded traditional territories of First Nation, Inuit, and Métis peoples from coast to coast to coast in what is known as ‘Canada’. CCWESTT respects and affirms the inherent and Treaty Rights of all Indigenous Peoples and their relationships to these lands and will continue to honour the commitments to self-determination and sovereignty made to Indigenous Nations and Peoples. CCWESTT acknowledges the historical and present-day oppressions, including violence and genocide, of the original Peoples, their lands, and cultures. All must contribute to the healing and decolonizing journey we share together to grow our society. CCWESTT fervently believes SETT is enriched through collective relations and knowledge sharing and is committed to helping enhance and build these relations.
CCWESTT encourages its staff, volunteers, and program members to become knowledgeable of the lands they are situated on and to assist in long-term collective relationships. It is up to all of us to understand how the land has and continues to nourish, heal, protect, and embrace us and that we are each land stewards for the present and in the future.
