Anti-Racism & Equity Committee

The work of the Anti-Racism & Equity committee is two-fold:

1. The committee engages members in anti-racist education.
2. The committee addresses gender equity and disability issues, as well as issues which impact Aboriginal, bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender members.

This committee will aspire to:

• Foster a collaborative link with our Race Relations and Equity Office at the Board.
• Assist in the funding of members who have an interest in conferences/workshops that support the efforts of this committee.
• Support members with various committee related initiatives in the Board.
• Educate members about cultural, racial, ethnic and religious diversity within the education community and society.
• Promote teaching as a career for under-represented groups in society.
• Provide strategies to ensure that all Peel Local activities are inclusive.
• Encourage the development of bias-free curriculum materials.
• Hold an annual dinner to recognize and commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
