The Community Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (C.D.E.I.C.) is an example of the City's commitment to community engagement and consultation. Formed in 2020, C.D.E.I.C. is made up of representatives from the community who support and advise on the ongoing implementation of the City's Diversity and Inclusion Plan.
Anti-racism/anti-oppression is an ongoing process that challenges us to continually examine our biases, think critically about the world we live in and to always be open to learning new things.
Educating ourselves on experiences of others is one way we can move towards a more inclusive society.
