This project recognizes organizations across Canada that have developed exemplary diversity and inclusiveness initiatives, with the goal of encouraging other organizations to follow their lead. As the project's exclusive sponsor, BMO has taken itself out of consideration for the competition and does not take part in the selection of winners, which is done by Mediacorp editors. BMO's generosity makes this competition possible, funding the costs of managing the annual competition as part of its longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusiveness. In the interest of fairness, Mediacorp editors have also reviewed BMO's own diversity programs so that readers interested in the competition can understand the key aspects of BMO's inclusiveness initiatives.
