Purpose The Equity Policy of the Canada Council for the Arts (the Council) governs and supports the Council’s application of equity principles and practices in all of its activities. [...] Objectives The objectives of this policy are to contextualize and communicate the Council’s equity principles and practices, and to support their implementation in all the Council’s activities, including but not limited to policy and program development, strategic initiatives, communications and human resources. [...] The rights and principles affirmed in the Declaration constitute the minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of Indigenous peoples of the world, and must be implemented in Canada. [...] Strategic groups Since 2017, the Council has used the term “designated priority group” to refer to communities for which it has implemented measures to address the historical and ongoing barriers they face in society and in accessing the Council’s funding, and/or to respond to the Council’s legislative obligations. [...] The Council’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee guides, supports and promotes the Council’s diversity and equity efforts, articulates a vision of diversity and equity for the Council, ensures that there is a consistent approach to internal and external communications, and contributes to the goal of providing optimal working conditions for all people working at the Council.
