Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

“As the Champion for Indigenous People, I want to inspire others by providing awareness and education within the organization.  Inclusivity leads to innovation, creativity and learning from one and other, which are key to a successful, respectful and happy workplace.” 

“It is with great pleasure that I am assuming the role of CFMWS champion for official languages.  I wish to be an active contributor to illustrate the cornerstone of our identity, which, constantly enriched by ethnic and cultural diversity, continues to shape our beautiful country. I am eager to work with the network of allies and with everyone who wants to contribute to the openness to others and, by doing so, to make our team stronger. I am looking forward to our discussions in both official languages in the near future..”

“As the Champion for Members of Visible Minorities, I am proud to be living in a country and working for an employer that not only tolerates but actually treasures diversity.”

“As your Wellness Champion, my role is to listen, advocate and promote personal, non-judgmental supports, services and collaborations that fit with our employees definition of wellness. I want to know how can our experiences shape our organization promoting wellness corporately, within teams, and personally? What exists, and more importantly, what needs to exist. My role is to engage and advance wellness opportunities - for all of us - and for whatever that means to us.”

Corinna has been with CFMWS since 2023 and is currently the Senior Vice President, PSP.  
In this role, she manages programs such as fitness, sports, recreation, and health promotion on bases and wings across Canada and in deployed operations, which ultimately contributes to the Canadian Armed Forces' operational readiness. 
A retired Brigadier-General, Corinna joined the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) in 1994 as a Logistics Officer in the Canadian Army. Corinna served in a variety of roles at the tactical, operational and strategic level with a focus on logistics, strategy development, risk management, professionalization and governance, and her final role was Deputy Chief of Staff at Chief Professional Conduct and Culture. 
After 29 exciting and rewarding years in the Canadian Armed Forces, Corinna retired in October 2023 to join the CFMWS team.

“ I am here to listen, to learn from my peers and colleagues, to build supports and mechanisms that deliver a safe space with equal opportunities and respect across CFMWS. Please feel free to join the Women’s Network of Allies, regardless of if you want to speak up or simply “be”, in a safe virtual space with other supportive, non-judgmental women with a vast array of life experiences. I want to hear what you have to say, and I will work alongside my Co-Champion to effect change.”

“ I consider it a privilege to be a CFMWS Champion for Women. I commit to being an advocate for culture change, holding space for your stories and experiences, and ensuring you feel valued, represented and seen.”

"I am so honoured to be your 2SLGBTQAI+ Champion! As such, my hope is to not only represent a voice for you and your family when it comes to inclusion and diversity policies for our queer community, but also work for you and your needs behind the scenes within the greater world of CFMWS. I want to help build a network based on support, diversity, understanding, compassion and most of all, mutual respect. My promise is to continue the communications, be open and present when engaging with you and to understand your needs in hopes of creating a better tomorrow for all. At the end of the day, I wish to create honest, safe dialogue that can further a network of support and understanding from a level of respect and dignity for all."
