Equity and Anti-Racism Advisory Committee

The Equity and Anti-Racism Advisory Committee shall provide advice to Council to assist in the identification, prevention and elimination of systemic hate, inequity, and racism in our Town.

The Equity and Anti-Racism Committee shall work to deliver this advice through an Equity and Anti-Racism Plan that shall guide how policies and programs are developed, how services are delivered and how budgetary decisions are made.

The Plan shall be reviewed and updated every three years to ensure Council is empowered to disrupt types of racism and discrimination that include ableism, anti-Asian racism, anti-Black racism, anti-Indigenous racism, antisemitism, gender and sexually-based discrimination, Islamophobia and xenophobia, which is dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.
