Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

The Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton is committed to creating a more equitable, inclusive, and respectful organization where children, youth, families, staff, volunteers, and community partners feel valued, respected, and supported.

Our commitment to equity is grounded in our mission, vision, and Strategic Plan. We recognize the importance of addressing systemic barriers and advancing practices that promote fairness, inclusion, and belonging for the diverse communities we serve.

Our Equity Statement and Equity Workplan guide our ongoing work to:

• Strengthen our anti-racism and equity practices;
• Build a more diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve;
• Embed equity, accessibility, and inclusion into our policies and practices; and
• Foster a workplace culture where everyone feels welcomed, safe, and able to contribute.

We are committed to meeting our responsibilities under the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act while continuing to learn, listen, and improve our practices.
