Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The Township of Centre Wellington is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community. We recognize that building such a community is an ongoing journey, and we are just beginning this important work.
Our goal is to create a community where every resident feels valued, respected, and included. While we are at the early stages of embedding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into our work, services, and policies, we are dedicated to learning, listening, and growing alongside our community.
We are excited to embark on this journey and invite everyone to join us as we take these first steps together toward building a more welcoming and inclusive Centre Wellington, a place where everyone truly feels welcomed and a sense of belonging.
What is DEI?
Diversity refers to the presence of differences in our community, including race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, age, socio-economic status, and more.
Equity means ensuring that everyone has fair access to opportunities, resources, and support, recognizing that different people face different barriers.
Inclusion is about creating environments where all people feel respected, accepted, and fully able to participate.
