CCBC’s commitment to a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace
The College is committed to supporting an organization that reflects the rich diversity of the communities it represents. It is recognized that a diverse and inclusive environment for the Board, committees and staff are important to ensure that the College is an effective health profession regulator.
What does diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mean for the College?
Overarching our strategic goals and stakeholder priorities, the College recognizes the need to understand and address diversity, equity and inclusion.
At the heart of regulation is the public and patients’ interest. To fulfill the mandate of regulating in the public interest, the College needs to reflect the communities it serves and represents. Establishing the DEI Policy is a fundamental step in this process.
