DCC has participated in Ottawa’s Capital Pride Parade for the first time.
Some 40 employees, family and friends were among the crowd of 10,000 in downtown Ottawa on a sunny August 27, 2023, to celebrate the diversity and unity of the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in the nation’s capital.
Enthusiasm for participating in the parade was evident as the DCC group walked the parade route carrying a banner, waving Pride flags and sporting t-shirts emblazoned with the Government of Canada’s pride banner on the front and DCC’s logo on the back.
“Fostering the spirit of pride is integral to building an increasingly safe, welcoming and healthy DCC workplace, since we operate at our highest level when our team members are able to bring their whole selves to the job each day,” said Derrick Cheung, President and CEO, who was among those who took part in the parade.
DCC continues to develop internal initiatives that bolster inclusion and ensure the organization can bring the strength of the whole team to serving the Client-Partners.
“I encourage everyone at DCC to adopt the spirit of inclusion,” Derrick said.
