We’ve been silent but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been listening. We hear you, we see you and we stand with you.

We stand in solidarity against racism and injustice in our communities and beyond. Like you, we believe black lives matter.

We remain committed to being a Canadian company that respects and values all ethnicities, races, cultures and affiliations. We also recognize we have work to do and we’re exploring ways to improve our organization and support for team members, BIPOC creators, designers and businesses. We wanted to be able to back up our words with action to help in the fight for equality. With that said, our plan includes:

• Partnering specifically with Canadian Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) social media influencers and content creators
• Supporting Canadian BIPOC artists and small businesses
• Collaborating with Canadian BIPOC interior designers and uplifting their voices in their community and ours
• Increasing the frequency and inclusion of BIPOC within our marketing materials and branded content
• Reinforcing and re-training our teams on our Respectful Workplace training, providing anti-racism resources and an open door policy to voice concerns

These are some of the few immediate steps we plan to take towards progress and change. We also realize these are small measures and that long-term action is necessary, and we’re inspired to continue growing and making an impact any way we can. We promise to keep actively learning, bettering ourselves and using our platform in Canada to speak up, stand against racism and contribute to real change.
