About the CHANGEMAKERS campaign
Pride at Work Canada’s CHANGEMAKERS is a multimedia digital campaign that aims to recognize 15 people championing 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion in the corporate, public service, and non-profit sectors across Canada as part of the organization’s 15th Anniversary. CHANGEMAKERS celebrates the achievements of these incredible individuals (and consequently their organizations) who have made a significant impact in fostering and leading diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace and beyond.
Products
The custom-printed mailer celebrated both Pride at Work and the CHANGEMAKERS to honour the recipients and their impactful work. Fairware sponsored and facilitated the decoration of the Rupt Capcyl water bottle and custom box and managed kitting services. To finalize the kit, the client sourced a pouch of Dispatch Coffee and the book “The Queer Advantage.”
Capcyl Bottle by Rupt
The Capcyl is a carbon-neutral bottle crafted from 5% recycled stainless steel. This 1L single-wall bottle stands tall as a testament to strength and eco-responsibility. The Capcyl’s box transforms into an audio amplifier, so even its packaging contributes to its eco-conscious ethos, giving it a second life and minimizing waste.
Dispatch Coffee Pouch
Dispatch Coffee is a queer-owned coffee branch from Montreal, with a second location in Toronto. They believe in responsible business and are dedicated to equitable trade and production of coffee – supporting small-scale coffee farmers and reducing their environmental impact.
Book: The Queer Advantage – Conversations with LGBTQ+ Leaders on the Power of Identity
The Queer Advantage By Andrew Gelwicks is about a compelling exploration of the unique strengths and perspectives that LGBTQ+ individuals bring to their professional and personal lives. Through insightful interviews with a diverse array of LGBTQ+ leaders from various industries, Gelwicks delves into how embracing one’s identity can be a source of power and resilience, driving innovation, creativity, and success. The book celebrates the richness of LGBTQ+ experiences and offers valuable insights into harnessing the queer advantage for personal and professional growth.
Conclusion
We hope the recipients of these kits enjoyed their products and felt the appreciation Pride At Work and Fairware have for them. Through initiatives like CHANGEMAKERS, we’re committed to fostering diversity in the workplace and creating inclusive environments where everyone can succeed. Together, we’re driving positive change nationwide.
