Every Monday throughout May, we're highlighting a different member of our Asian Affinity Network business resource group for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. First up, meet Lawrence, a Senior Legal Editor in New York. "Joining the Asian Affinity Network has also allowed me to participate in programming to celebrate events like Lunar New Year, Diwali, and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is an opportunity to take a step back from our busy schedules and learn about the great contributions that we have made to American society. Another benefit to joining this business resource group is that it has amplified my appreciation of the traditions and the tremendous contributions to our great nation made by other groups from minority and majority populations.”

We are thrilled to announce the official opening of our new centre in the heart of downtown Toronto at 19 Duncan Street! Our new centre is purpose-built for the future of work.

We congratulate our entire team on this momentous occasion and look forward to witnessing incredible achievements emerge from this space.
