We could not do this work without you.

We are immensely grateful for your ongoing support and shared commitment to inclusion and belonging, and to advancing changes across STEM so that diverse perspectives and contributions are welcomed and valued.

On this day, we remember the lives lost and renew our commitment to creating spaces where all people can learn, work, and lead without fear, discrimination, or exclusion — and where contributions are valued, acknowledged, and supported.

Remembrance must also guide action. Creating an equitable and inclusive world requires ongoing effort to ensure that everyone can contribute fully and fairly. Change is both possible and necessary if we are to build a sustainable and fair world for future generations.

Reconciliation is not a single action or a single day. It is a continual process of listening, humility, & learning, while recognizing the lasting impacts of colonial policies and institutions. May this day remind us that knowledge is a pathway to healing & change.

As Canadians, we all share the responsibility to understand Indigenous histories, perspectives, and ways of knowing — not only to honour the truth, but to support healing and prevent future harms.

💐 To every woman engineer around the world:
We see you.
We celebrate you.
We’re grateful for all that you do.

And yet, far too many women continue to leave engineering.
It’s time to move beyond the performative and commit to change that delivers real, measurable impact in women’s careers and daily lives.
#STEMWomen #WISEPlanet

This year’s theme, #TogetherWeEngineer is a call to action.
Collaboration, diversity, and inclusive workplaces are essential to the future of engineering. Women engineers are already leading the way.

At WISE Planet, we stand with 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Everyone deserves to live authentically, safely, and with dignity. This Pride Month—and every month—we reaffirm our commitment to equity, justice, and inclusion.

What can you do? Start with awareness. Continue with action.

Today, 2SLGBTQIA+ communities face escalating threats to their safety & rights. From anti-trans legislation to book bans & restrictions on gender-affirming care, we are witnessing a dangerous erosion of dignity & existence. Now more than ever, celebration must be matched with solidarity & action.

Pride affirms that the personal is political and that our very existence is an act of resistance. At its core, Pride is a stand against the systemic oppression, erasure, and marginalization of 2SLGBTQIA+ identities and contributions.
