In order for us to fulfill our mission and be a leader in service delivery, we commit to celebrating diversity, ensuring inclusion and working towards equity in all we do. We shall continually strive to reflect the diversity of our community in our employment, our provision of services, our volunteer participation, and in the composition of our board of directors, committees, management team and staff and contractors.

We acknowledge that colonization, patriarchy and other forms of oppression have created systems that increase the marginalization of oppressed groups and establish barriers to their full access and participation in the community. We seek to change these systems and remove barriers to increase access and participation, especially for those who are marginalized, disadvantaged or oppressed.

We strive to be an organization that values and celebrates everyone’s life experiences, their voices and their histories. By consistently bringing new perspectives to our decision-making table, forming new partnerships and alliances, and finding new ways to support service innovation, we will be a strong, equitable and relevant organization. Throughout this process, we commit to humility, optimism and respect.
