HALTON EQUITY DIVERSITY
ROUNDTABLE

Building systemic inclusion and equity in Halton.

ABOUT US

The Halton Equity and Diversity Roundtable (HEDR) is a community collective of organizations, institutions, groups, businesses, and individual community members that is committed to building systemic inclusion and equity in Halton.

 

The role of this Roundtable will be to move us forward as a community, to identify and celebrate our strengths as well as to facilitate the discussion in those areas that need work. Diversity is a real strength in our community, and we need to learn to work together effectively to make sure each member of the community is able to contribute the best of their talents and energy to make Halton a community where everyone wants to live, work, and play.

ENDORSE THE CHARTER!
ORGANIZATION SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL

The Halton Equity and Diversity Roundtable (HEDR) is pleased to offer an Organizational Self-Assessment Tool for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for organizations, groups and businesses in Halton to increase the capacity to be inclusive and equitable in all forms of human diversity, as well as to enhance practices, policies and services.

SPORTS EQUITY PANEL
23-269-RCC Reaching Each and Every One_11x17_PROOF04_page-0001.jpg

The Burlington Gymnastics Club and the City of Burlington, and Halton Equity DIversity Roundtable are working together to remove barriers so everyone can play. We have partnered to bring you this amazing learning opportunity. These learning  orums will provide perspectives from people with lived experience who have been success ul in making changes toward a more diverse, equitable and inclusive (DEI)  uture in sport.

 

Each forum will  ocus on removing barriers, increasing access and participation in sport through thought provoking discussion, practical examples and lived experiences.

 

You will come away with:

• An understanding o  barriers to participating in sport

• An increased knowledge o  how to be more inclusive in your organization

• How other sports organizations are implementing DEI best practices

• Opportunities to potentially receive funds to help make changes that matter

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Halton Equity and Diversity Roundtable is grateful to acknowledge that we are on Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Traditional Territory of the Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat.

We recognize that Halton is home to many First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples of the past, present and future. We continue to reflect on the past and acknowledge that which came before us, while recognizing the importance of taking the path of Truth and Reconciliation.

We are committed to raising awareness for building systemic inclusion and equity in Halton, and we strive to learn and work together effectively to move us forward towards a community where individuals are valued, respected and empowered.
