Mispronouncing someone's name is more than just a slip of the tongue – it's a missed opportunity to build genuine connection.

In 2021, 26.5% of Canada’s population identified as racialized, bringing a rich diversity of cultural names to our communities. Despite this, many individuals with unique-sounding names continue to face the frustration of having their names mispronounced or Anglicized. Taking the time to learn and say people's names correctly acknowledges the importance of identity in our shared spaces.

Pronouncing a name correctly is a powerful, simple act of respect that fosters true inclusion and makes everyone feel valued. Join us in prioritizing inclusivity – commit to asking, learning, and pronouncing names with care.
