our cancellation policy
Halton Equity Diversity Roundtable (HEDR) is committed to enhancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Halton Region. We offer a range of programs, including educational workshops, seminars, and initiatives designed to build DEI capacity. Registering for a Professional Learning session is a commitment. Not attending may prevent other community members or interested participants from attending, may incur added material costs and leads to food waste.
In an effort to continue to provide low cost or no cost professional learning HEDR has implemented the following process.
If you are unable to attend an event, the following steps must be taken to avoid a penalty fee:
-
No less than 5 working days prior to the session, email daven@hedroundtable.com with the following subject line: Substitute Professional Learning Session Attendee- Date-
-
Identify a substitute attendee which includes email and contact information.
Fees will apply in the following scenarios:
Free In-Person Sessions:
-
A $10 fee will apply to participants who registered for a session and did not attend or provide an alternate attendee. If a substitute attendee is provided and cancels at any time, the substitute attendee will be required to pay the fee.
-
HEDR will send an email that will include a form to make payment online.
-
Unpaid fees (outstanding for longer than 2 weeks following the session) will result in a hold on future Professional Learning registrations until payment has been received.
Paid Virtual and/or In-Person Sessions:
-
Full registration fees will be charged to participants who do not provide a minimum of 5 working days notice of a cancellation or a substitute attendee. If a substitute attendee is provided and cancels at any time, the substitute attendee will be required to pay the full registration fee.
-
HEDR will send an email that will include a form to make payment online.
-
Unpaid fees (outstanding longer than 2 weeks following the session) will result in a hold on future Professional Learning registrations until payment has been received.
Cancellation requests will forfeit access to the recording of the session, where applicable.
ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT TOOL
In our collective workplaces and organizations, we often state the fundamental principles of respect and equality for all. Core values of any organization usually list ‘diversity’, ‘respect’ and ‘inclusion’ within statements of mission and purpose. However, values are much more than words, and to truly embed these values into the structure and life of any organization requires honest examination and evaluation.
To assist an organization, and the individuals within an organization, in the progressive journey towards diversity and inclusivity, this self-assessment tool is meant to facilitate reflective conversations around “how we are doing” and “what we could be doing”. It is meant to springboard assessment conversations toward meaningful and continuous action. It is meant to inspire mindfulness and responsiveness. It is not meant to feel competitive, in that high scores are the only objective. Additionally, a high score does not mean that equity and inclusion work is finished. This tool is not an exhaustive checklist and it will constantly evolve and change as the field of equity, diversity and inclusion develops over time and our learning journeys progress.
CSMARI
COMMUNITY PROJECT
This project aims to empower underrepresented communities through the development of resident-focused programs in Halton.
The project will take place in Halton Region, encompassing the municipalities of Burlington, Halton Hills, Georgetown, Milton, and Oakville, between January 2024 and March 2025.
Overall, the project’s activities will advocate for systemic change and justice at the local level by building skills and resiliency for community members and increasing access to employment, education, and advocacy.
