When Yes Employment Services has its main event of the Diversity at Work Nipissing Summit 2023 it will have a special guest.
The theme is Bridging Communities, and Zarqa Nawaz, creator of Little Mosque on the Prairie, film and TV producer, author, public speaker, journalist, and former broadcaster will be the keynote speaker.
This summit isn't just about discussing diversity and inclusion, it's about taking action and making a real impact within the workforce.
Nawaz is a Canadian producer for film and television, a published author, and public speaker. In 2007, she created the internationally renowned CBC comedy series, Little Mosque on the Prairie, the world’s first sitcom about a Muslim community living in the west.
Little Mosque on the Prairie premiered to the highest ratings CBC had in over 20 years. The show went on to win a Gemini, and was nominated for Best Television Series – Comedy at the 2007 Directors Guild of Canada Awards. Internationally, Little Mosque won awards for Best International Television Series and Best Screenplay at the 2007 Roma Fiction Fest. In 2012, it made its American debut on Hulu, and is now broadcast in over 60 countries. The Los Angeles Times said, “the genius of ‘Mosque’ is that the characters resonate with viewers all over the world.”
