Services, Organizational Reviews, Strategic Planning, Education and Training

At CPAMO we believe in transforming the arts sector by helping organizations build their everyday operations, policies, human resources practices and community engagement. We provide training and education in the following areas: Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), anti-racism, anti-black racism, Critical Response Process (CRP), equity and employment, human resources (hiring, retention, etc), micro-aggressions (Sublte Acts of Exclusion) and community engagement focusing on IBPOC (indigenous, black, and people of colour) and other marginalized communities.  We also conduct anti-racism and equity organizational reviews and strategic planning.
