Podcast: Digging in with ONN
Digging in with ONN was a podcast series that focused on the issues that matter to the nonprofit sector in Ontario. With a public policy lens, hosts discussed the realities faced by individuals and organizations in our sector.
This was the first podcast series that supported ONN’s efforts to advance Decent Work, and used an intersectional lens that centered Truth and Reconciliation, racial justice, and equity practices. Decent Work is a term coined by the International Labour Organization to describe what good work looks like – fair, stable, and productive. Decent work specifically ties together the goals of social protection, economic security, thriving businesses and community well-being.
