Vision

• Employees, students and community stakeholders benefit from the college as

an equitable, diverse and inclusive place to learn, work and grow.

• Individuals in the college community understand EDI and collaborate to

continue developing and promoting it throughout the organization and

community at large.

• The college identifies and removes all barriers to access and inclusion from

systems, policies, practices and supports. Students have the opportunity

to achieve their academic goals, and staff are able to access employment

opportunities.

• Values of community, access, respect and excellence are nurtured and

embedded in college culture.

Guidance, Direction and Implementation

The Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Plan was developed through and is guided by the

work of two standing committees: the EDI Advisory Committee and the broader

Selkirk College Leadership Team.

THE EDI ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The EDI Advisory Committee is made up of Selkirk College community members

who provide advice, guidance and support to Selkirk College and the Leadership

Team based on their diverse lived experiences and perspectives. The EDI Advisory

Committee provides recommendations on priorities, direction and programs

to enhance EDI initiatives, activities, policies and actions. The EDI Advisory

Committee raises emerging issues, influences the direction of the Leadership

Team’s strategic priorities and supports the execution of EDI initiatives.

THE LEADERSHIP TEAM

The Selkirk College Leadership Team listens to and values the advice provided

by the EDI Advisory Committee. This advice informs the development,

implementation and prioritization of EDI initiatives. The Leadership Team ensures

the goals of the EDI plan are met by allocating resources and implementing EDI

tactics across all divisions of the college.
