New episode alert! 🎙️ In the latest episode of DIVERSEtalks, host Ria Renouf sits down with DIVERSEcity CEO Neelam Sahota, to explore what nation building looks like in today’s #Canada. Together, they unpack Canada’s evolving identity in the face of global uncertainty—from growing national pride and shifting views on immigration to the importance of reconciliation.
