The article above addresses a very serious issue over the past few decades, and clearly shows the advancements made by those battling the problem at hand. The question of diversity has been a large issue in North America in the past years, as companies and major organizations found it difficult to adjust to the abundance of diverse groups that happened to enter the workforce. But as the article states, organizations in Canada are beginning to realize the importance of adapting to the inevitable. The vast majority of people entering the the Canadian workplace nowadays is either an immigrant, visible minorities, gays and lesbians, etc. The talents of this new coming workforce cannot be ignored, and certain Canadian companies have quickly taken the opportunity to hire these talents (HSBC Bank, Enbridge Inc.,Boeing Canada Technology etc). This goes to show the colossal advancement of these diverse groups of people and their success in establishing a secure spot in the some North American workforce; well earned after the hardships they have had (and sometimes still do) endure.
