PGA of Ontario's Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Group has been selected!

Over the last several weeks, the PGA of Ontario has called for volunteers both within and outside our PGA network to form the new Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Group.

Since then, our team has conducted a comprehensive selection process based on the responses we received through submitted applications.

We appreciate the time and effort each candidate put into this application process, and we are always grateful to Members who volunteer their support of our endeavours.

We have identified a strong collection of individuals with a variety of backgrounds and experiences, that we look forward to working with, and learning from, in our journey to becoming more inclusive, thoughtful, and intentional in all that we do at the PGA of Ontario.

We are pleased to introduce the following participants to this Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Group!
