Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
More
The Municipality of Clarington recognizes that ethno-cultural, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, religious affiliation, age, and other aspects of identity collectively impact and form our life experiences and how we interact within our communities. We value the diversity of the people and communities we serve.
The need to belong is universal and fundamental. We recognize that there is work to be done to close the belonging gap. Clarington is committed to closing the gap and creating an inclusive, equitable and safe community.
2024-2027 Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Anti-Racism (IDEA) Strategy
The Municipality of Clarington’s 2024-2027 Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Anti-Racism (IDEA) Strategy reflects Clarington’s vision to create a connected, dynamic and welcoming community focused on the future while respecting the past.
The Strategy recognizes and celebrates the efforts of Clarington’s internal and external diversity and inclusion committees and is a continuation of their foundational work.
Equity and Inclusion Lens
Inclusion is about building environments and cultures where people with diverse identities feel like they belong, can work and live to their full potential with respect, dignity and freedom from discrimination, and participate freely in the life of the community while retaining authenticity, uniqueness and autonomy.
An Equity and Inclusion Lens is like a pair of glasses that help you see things with a new or different perspective. It’s an easy-to-use tool made up of three questions that prompt us to think about inclusion in our work. Using the lens helps us consider potential impacts of programs, services and initiatives on the diversity of our employees and customers.
