This year, the City was recognized for increasing diversity in the workforce, fostering a sense of belonging for diverse staff and improving access to services for people from underserved communities.

The City’s Diversity and Inclusion Plan strives to nurture a respectful and inclusive culture where all employees experience a sense of belonging. Over the past year, the following initiatives have been pivotal to the City’s efforts to turn this mission into a lived reality:

  • Offering Indigenous awareness training for staff
  • Implementing the City’s Older Adult Plan and Reconciliation Action Plan.
  • Creating and supporting nine different employee-led affinity groups
  • Creating the Gender and Race Equity, Inclusion, Indigenous Relations and Social Development service area
  • Hosting a series of interactive learning events for staff and residents through our Women and Gender Equity Strategy
  • Hiring more staff within the four employment equity groups, which brings us closer to our goal of a workforce that reflects the community we serve.

The City also hosted a series of action planning and engagement sessions with diverse communities of racialized residents, community partners and stakeholders, as well as staff, to inform the City’s first Anti-Racism Strategy.
