Embracing our differences

Diane stands with people who are LGBTQIA+, First Nations, disabled, neurodiverse, and from all countries of origin…who follow any religion, or no religion…and who identify as any combination or intersection of these identities. She works actively to create and support a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable world.
