Diversity and Inclusion Plan
The City of Oshawa’s Diversity and Inclusion Plan is a five to ten year framework for ensuring all people feel welcome and involved in our community. The goal is make sure community members have fair access to programs, services and employment opportunities in Oshawa. It also outlines internal recommendations to enhance diversity, equity and inclusion within the City of Oshawa staff.
The Plan offers over 90 strategies and actions for the City to put in place over the next five to ten years to:
- Identify and address forms of discrimination that create barriers to service access and community engagement, and inhibit equity and full participation in the workplace
- Work with equity-deserving groups to counter historical, attitudinal, structural, and institutional practices that prevent inclusivity
- Implement programs, initiatives and provide services that recognize the full range of human differences and realize the goals of fairness, justice and non-discrimination
