The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee was created in 2022, following the dissolution of the DEI Task Group. The mandate of the EDI Committee is to consider and make recommendations to Council on:
- The potential for, and/or existence of, systemic and structural racism, discrimination and/or bias within the College’s statutory, regulatory and governance policies and processes.
- Strategies (including revisions to bylaws, standards, guidelines and policies) to address any identified issues.
- An approach to meaningful engagement with Indigenous communities to implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action within the regulatory sector.
- The enhancement of educational resources to support College registrants in practising ethically and professionally, with a focus on considerations related to equity, diversity and inclusion.
Effective September 2024, the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee was renamed the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee.
In 2025, the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee:
- Continued its advisory oversight of the Equity and Inclusion Data Initiative.
- Took part in ongoing discussions as it relates to the College’s bylaw revisions.
- Participated in engagement and revisions around the development of an African Ancestral Acknowledgement.
- Engaged in early discussions related to the development of an Indigenous Advisory Group.
