The City of Kitchener Fire Department utilized the DSI Diversity Training to assist in the ongoing education of our staff. Using various techniques, Dr. Karumanchery opened our minds around diversity and anti-oppression by delivering a very challenging and sometimes controversial subject matter in a safe environment without intimidation. The training was well received by staff and the promotion of these open discussions has helped shape the views of our Department. On a personal note, Leeno allowed me to take a different view on diversity and to examine how I treat and react to people from diverse backgrounds. I see this program as a life altering experience. These are values that I will now pass on to my kids
