Canadian Chapter
Driving targeted initiatives and building connections
This chapter has hosted a Dialogue Series with a leadership event in Vancouver and a climate communications session in Toronto earlier this year. WLOC Canada also hosted an inaugural summit in Montreal, bringing together 100 leading women from across Canada to explore climate leadership, public policy, Indigenous leadership, communications, finance, and corporate governance.
The chapter is also building a coalition to develop new practical guidance for Audit Committee Chairs to increase effective climate reporting. By co-developing an effective educational program and administering it through WLOC Canada’s network, the chapter hopes to affect real Board-level change.
