Vinequity is a federally incorporated not-for-profit organization founded by seven female wine professionals of colour. Our mission is to ensure that people who identify as Black, Indigenous or People of Colour (including BIPOC people who identify as LGBTQ+ or are living with a disability) that work in all aspects of the wine industry are given equitable treatment and opportunities to access, grow and thrive as visible leaders in the Canadian Wine Industry.This will be done via three distinct initiatives: 1. Increase the visibility of diverse wine professionals through our directory which highlights qualified professionals to potential employers and provides organic opportunities for mentorship and community building.2. Advocate for broad representation and fair work practices for the BIPOC community in all facets of the wine industry, from the vineyard to the restaurant floor, through the sharing of existing resources and best practices.3. Increase access to wine education by working with our industry partners to provide scholarships to wine education certifications, viticultural training and professional development.
