The Community Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (C.D.E.I.C.) is an example of the City's commitment to community engagement and consultation. Formed in 2020, C.D.E.I.C. is made up of representatives from the community who support and advise on the ongoing implementation of the City's Diversity and Inclusion Plan.
