DIVERSITY & INCLUSIVITY
Stronger Together
At Reitmans, our goal is to ensure all our customers feel seen and heard.
In Canada especially, our beauty is found in the various
origins of the people from
our community who contribute to the richness of our culture.
Did You Know?
We make it a point to communicate the importance of diversity in
the initiatives
we support, so that all Canadian women feel represented.
National Day for Truth & Reconciliation 2025
Every day, Reitmans honours authenticity by committing ourselves to working toward real change using our brand voice. Diversity, inclusivity and individuality are what drives our year-round initatives, chosen causes and donations.
To honour the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, we've partnered with Cree social media creator and Indigenous advocate Michelle Chubb. She dedicates herself to helping young Indigenous people find their way by providing community, inspiration and representation she felt were missing in her own youth.
Reitmans commits to making a donation of $10,000 to support local Indigenous communities through Michelle's chosen foundation: the Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre. They're a Winnipeg-based resource organization providing community-based programs and services for Indigenous families.
You too can make a difference by donating here.
