If you are involved in any EDI initiatives, activities, or events, please let us know what you've been up to! "I am involved in the project Parité sciences in the province of Québec that aims to train high school teachers to adopt educational practices in their everyday teaching that has been proven by research in education to increase the interest of young women to take up a career in physics, We've already trained ~1000 teachers in the province. The web site of the project is at https://www.paritesciences.ca." - anonamous "I have led multiple workshops on mental health and am set to lead one at Queen's on June 7th, funded through the EDII Advancement Funds from the McDonald Institute." - anonamous "2SLGBTQ+ in STEM events, Two Eyed Seeing Astronomy events, discussing solar eclipse with Indigenous schools," - anonamous "Departmental EDI committee, design of the EDI module for TA training, participation in the Canadian Consortium for Equity Scholar's survey on belonging/equity in the classroom" - anonamous "Girls & women in astronomy events, probably others" - anonamous "I am the Director of k2i (kindergarten to industry) academy at the Lassonde School of Engineering at York University.

These are the main initiatives I am part of now - many more previously! Nothing specific other than supporting activities where I can Are there any programs, initiatives, or events in EDI (physics or non-physics) that you know of (or are part of) that you want others in the symposium to know about? The International Society of Nonbinary Scientists (isnbs.org) is a fantastic community of folks! Parité sciences mentioned above (https://www.paritesciences.ca) NSERC (and the whole Tricouncil) continues to raise the bar for EDI considerations in research they fund, and there are great resources: https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NSERC-CRSNG/EDI/resources-ressources_eng.asp Perimeter Institute Celebrating Women in Science Initiative - https://perimeterinstitute.ca/celebrating-women-science Cultivating Ensembles http://cultivatingensembles.org/ There will be a presentation for the CISE initiatives.
