I cannot speak for everyone, but I can share one of my experiences.
I was one of the founders of the Black Defence Employees Network. One of our first initiatives was to lay a wreath at the national Remembrance Day ceremony for Black veterans. This was important to us because we wanted Black veterans and Black members of the Canadian Armed Forces to be represented at the national ceremony for veterans. This was supported by the Chief of the Defence Staff and the Royal Canadian Legion, which organizes this ceremony. So I think there is a willingness to welcome people and be more inclusive.
Are we treated fairly across institutions? I cannot answer that, but I see examples where there is a willingness to be more inclusive.
