Demystifying Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI): Information Session
Date: April 26, 2023 5:30 – 7:30pm
Facilitator: Jennifer Mak, J. Mak Consulting,
Location: Virtual via Zoom
Over the last three years and counting, there has been a sense of urgency in response to what’s happened and what’s been happening with particular respect to the escalation of anti-Black, anti-Indigenous, and anti-Asian violence; the further marginalization of persons with disabilities; and the increasing displacement of people who are insecurely housed or unhoused.
In response, many organizations have started to consider or have furthered their EDI work. However, there are often misconceptions about EDI and an oversight that EDI is interconnected to human rights, which can have negative impacts on an organization.
Join us for an information session on the basics of EDI and its interrelation to human rights and legislative obligations.
