We are honoured to announce that Bird Creatives has been named a finalist for the esteemed Alberta Business Award of Distinction in the category of "Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion." This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to fostering a diverse workforce and promoting inclusivity within Alberta's vibrant creative economy.

The Alberta Business Awards of Distinction, presented by the Alberta Chambers of Commerce, celebrates organizations that demonstrate excellence in various business categories, including innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility. We are particularly proud to be recognized in the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion category, which acknowledges companies that have shown exceptional dedication to creating an environment that values and celebrates diversity.

From the very beginning, Bird Creatives has been a champion of equity, diversity, and inclusion. We firmly believe that diversity fuels creativity and innovation, leading to better outcomes for both our clients and employees. By fostering an inclusive workplace culture, we have leveraged our company's core values to advocate and promote diversity in the creative industry.

Being named a finalist for this award reinforces our enduring belief that diversity and inclusion are not just buzzwords but foundational values that drive innovation, creativity, and excellence. We would like to extend our congratulations to CoachAbility for being the recipient of this award, and would also like to recognize and congratulate our fellow nominee, Bear Creek Folk Festival. We are truly honoured to be recognized for our efforts and remain inspired by the remarkable accomplishments of our fellow nominees.

At Bird Creatives, we understand that a diverse workforce contributes to a richer tapestry of ideas, fosters innovation, and drives business success. Through targeted recruitment strategies and proactive inclusion initiatives, we have cultivated a talented team that reflects the multicultural fabric of Alberta. By embracing diversity, we have built a collaborative environment where every individual's unique talents are respected and celebrated.
