Message from the CEO: Statement Against Anti-Asian Racism

March 23, 2021

Like the rest of you, I am outraged and saddened at the growing hate towards the Asian community. I am Chinese, I am Canadian, and I have experienced anti-Asian racism throughout my life. My employees have faced attacks, and unfortunately, we are not alone. Hate is a virus. This is why, today, I want to use this platform to spread the word, share resources, show support, and #StopAsianHate.

Hate and violence of all kinds are not tolerated at Emterra Group and have no place in our society. We have curated resources to help us all commit ourselves to combatting racism.

Anti-Asian Racism Education Resources:

    Lastly, our Human Resources team, the Senior Leadership Team and I would welcome any feedback on improving our inclusive and equity efforts within Emterra. You can email your feedback directly to hr@emterra.ca.

    We will continue to promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in our culture, our hiring and business practices, and invest in employee training that improves inclusiveness and understanding of unconscious bias in all our locations. Please join me in doing the necessary work to eradicate racism, hate, and violence in our communities.

    With gratitude,

    Emmie,

    Founder and CEO
