Kamloops and District Labour Council – Monday, June 20, 2022 14:26:08 Asks:
What steps would you take to ensure your local government hiring practices reflect the community’s population diversity? Are you aware of any existing Employment Equity policies in your community or other communities?
One of my main campaign focal points in 2018 was increasing accessibility and inclusion in our city. This recently culminated in a cross departmental initiative to identify where accessibility, diversity, and inclusion initiatives are needed and how to implement them. This ultimately led to the hiring of the city's first-ever Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion coordinator. Part of this role includes developing and implementing employment equity practices and the city's Accessibility and Inclusion plan along with other departmental initiatives. I'm very proud of my role in this work!
