The elimination of racial discrimination and racism is an essential part of CLTO’s efforts to cultivate an equitable and inclusive learning environment and work culture.

Community Living Toronto aspires to a culture where equity and inclusion are naturally occurring, and diversity is embraced as a source of learning and pride.

Community Living Toronto aims for equity through the fair and respectful treatment of all people – staff and individuals served. This will be achieved through an intentional and respectful focus on, and recognition of, everyone’s unique qualities and attributes and creation of inclusive environments where all individuals feel respected, accepted and valued.

We believe that supporting and engaging diversity of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or intellectual ability, ethnicity, religion and Indigenous heritage is integral to the services we provide.

As an employer of choice, Community Living Toronto is committed to attracting and retaining a diverse workforce, building and strengthening partnerships, and fostering an environment free of discrimination and harassment.

We will work to ensure that the concepts of equity, diversity and inclusion are understood and barriers are eliminated, so that the EDI (equity, diversity, and inclusion) culture is reflected and celebrated throughout the organization.

Further to this mandate we have invited contributors to share their expertise and understandings on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and how these topics intersect with the disabled community.
