Financial Literacy & Entrepreneurial Society Hub

History:

DIVERSITY, EQUITY and INCLUSION POLICY

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policy (DEI) was established to increase the representation and participation of BIPOC and 2SLGBTQI+, women, hard to employ, people with disabilities, at-risk and other equity deserving groups within the organization, workspace, and economic environments across Canada. We are a B3 organization with a priority lens, we foster an environment of diversity and inclusion and do not limit citizens based on race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, neurodiversity, and socioeconomic status to ensure that our practices and programs are just, fair and provide equitable outcomes for all learners, participants, and community stakeholders.

Our country's diversity is our cultural mosaic of beauty that is appreciated, embraced, and celebrated across our organization, network, and business community. The Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurial Society Hub is committed to upholding the values of equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism, in the delivery of its services in our workplaces, organization and affiliated business community. We are committed to building a diverse workforce that is representative of the communities it serves at all levels of the organization and supports an inclusive environment where diverse learners, facilitators, mentors, and community perspectives and lived experiences add value to the organization.

We collaborate and partner with local groups, institutions, projects, and businesses that empowers members of groups that face barriers to equity, including but not limited to, Indigenous, Black, and racialized groups, people with disabilities, 2SLGBTQI+ and hard to employ individuals, from a belief of barrier free financial literacy attainment and entrepreneurship development and advancement.
