Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
Our diversity in experience and perspective strengthens creativity and innovation while improving decision making and results
Our People
Our Practices
The CBG has established an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee to support realization of the goals stated in its EDI Policy. This Committee oversees the EDI framework and ensures that organizational policies are fully implemented. The goal is to create an inclusive work culture where every individual feels safe, respected, included, and encouraged to contribute, and where everyone experiences a sense of belonging and thrives. We recognize that, due to systemic factors, some members of the Canadian community experience barriers to education, employment, and full participation. The CBG strives to contribute to the reduction of these barriers.
Our EDI Policy and framework will grow and evolve as we learn from each other and our collaborating communities on how best to work together in an equitable and respectful, authentic way. As such, the Policy is reviewed and revised on an annual basis.
