Building Community
Building mutual respect, collaboration, and understanding among team members starts with creating psychologically safe workplaces and learning environments. Our services and workshops help foster strong community connections.
Guiding Frameworks & Action Plans
York’s vision for an equity strategy is based on a commitment to decolonizing, equity, diversity and inclusion (DEDI) and the fundamental belief that everyone should be treated fairly and equitably, with respect and dignity.

The Framework on Black Inclusion is built on the foundational work of many individuals who have done important work to advance equity and inclusion through research, curriculum, service and programming.
This Framework builds on the University’s distinct values, traditions, history and vision. It calls for a pan-University Indigenous Strategy.
