Community Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee

The logo features four curved lines in blue, green, orange, and purple, forming a circular shape around the acronym CDEIC in beige. The words Oshawa Community Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee are written below the acronym in a smaller font.

What is the C.D.E.I.C.?

The Community Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (C.D.E.I.C.) was established in July 2020 with community representatives who came together to support City staff to implement its Diversity and Inclusion Plan. 

Committee members use their skills, knowledge and lived experience to bring forward the voices of diverse community groups and organizations in Oshawa, advise on the elimination of barriers within City programs, services and policies for diverse populations, and consult on the development of new initiatives and programs.

For more information about the C.D.E.I.C., please read the C.D.E.I.C.’s Terms of Reference and the City of Oshawa’s Diversity and Inclusion Plan.
