Empowering and Celebrating Each Other
As a multicultural, diverse team of hard-working, caring people, LifeLabs’ employee community is quintessentially Canadian.
We celebrate and learn from each other through awareness and education campaigns, social events, and employee recognition.

Black History Month (BHM)
LifeLabs celebrated BHM with an awareness and education campaign that included published interviews with employees, a series of webinars, and a resource guide about the impact of institutional racism.
International
Women’s Day (IWD)
The Women of LifeLabs Employee Resource Group took up IWD’s challenge and ran a “Break the Bias” campaign featuring photos of LifeLabs employees.
Med Lab Week
Med Lab Week is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the important work done by LifeLabs’ teams. This year’s events centred on peer recognition and included activities such as “Red Carpet Day” and “Sports Day”.
Pride Month
For the first time, LifeLabs kicked off Pride Month by ceremonially raising the Pride flag at our Toronto and Burnaby lab locations. Pride flags and stickers were also made prominent throughout our Patient Service Centres during the month of June and beyond.
Scholarship Awards
LifeLabs Family Scholarship Program awards ten scholarships to dependent children of LifeLabs employees based on grades, leadership, extracurricular activities, volunteer, and work experience. This year’s talented recipients will be pursuing further education in political science, nursing, physiology, and neuroscience.
National Day of Truth and Reconciliation
Employees raised funds throughout the month of September in support of National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. This year’s donations – including a $10,000 corporate donation – went to agencies serving indigenous families in Ontario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia.
