Black Lives Matter.



Thank you to our community. We see you, we hear you and we stand with you. Over the past week we’ve taken a step back to pause, listen and reflect.


We’ve begun to have important and difficult conversations internally on how we can address Anti-Black racism. We are committed to doing better, doing more and we also recognize that words are not enough without the actions to support them.


As a first step toward what we hope can be a better future, we are donating $50,000 to ​Black Lives Matter, Black Youth Helpline, Black Health Alliance, Black Legal Action Centre and the Black Coalition for Aids Prevention. We will also be investing in educational programs for our employees, committing to more inclusive and diverse representation, and will be meeting on a regular basis to address the important issues facing our staff and communities.


We will not stop here.


We're committed to act and help, and hope you are too.
