Case Studies
Destination Stratford
Prompted by incidents of racism, homophobia, and religious intolerance being experienced by members of the Stratford community, a broad community response was initiated. Destination Stratford engaged MTC to support them in building EDI knowledge and practice, convening community collaboration, and developing a Welcoming Community Statement.
Toronto Foundation
Embarking on a journey of profound transformation, the Toronto Foundation entrusted our team with the monumental task of orchestrating a sweeping cultural metamorphosis in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). Our commitment to this endeavour resulted in a series of impactful interventions that have resulted in deep cultural transformation.
