W.A.G.E. Anti Racism Project

Creating Stronger Foundations: A Prism for Change and
Advancement in Health Care, Education, Entrepreneurship
and Social Work for Women in Alberta

Supported by Women and Gender Equality Canada, the project engaged women professionals in Alberta’s health care, social work, and education sectors. Through surveys, focus groups, and interviews, participants identified barriers such as inconsistent EDI practices, underrepresentation of Black and racialized in senior roles, and challenges in recruitment processes. Findings are being used to design industry-specific training modules, strengthen organizational culture, and develop sustainable anti-racism strategies to advance equity across Alberta’s workforce.

Looking ahead, the project will expand partnerships with educational institutions and industry leaders to pilot these strategies, ensuring long-term impact and broader application across Canada.
