Abstract

Organizations are seeking to advance equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) to attract and retain their workforce. To support the mining sector’s transition from a traditionally male-dominated workforce, The Mining Association of Canada (MAC) has developed new EDI accountability frameworks. In this paper, I argue that Canadian mining organizations and their leaders are experiencing a kairotic moment — an opportune moment in time requiring action — and need to respond accordingly. Now that the window of opportunity has opened, mining leaders need to act, both to support organizational change efforts and in everyday allyship actions. This article holds significance to equip transformational change-agents.
