Guide on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Terminology
This bilingual guide covers key terms and concepts related to equity, diversity, accessibility and inclusion. It was developed by Public Services and Procurement Canada, Women and Gender Equality Canada, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, and more than 20 federal departments and agencies.
The guide aims to improve understanding of concepts related to equity, diversity, accessibility and inclusion, and to provide a unified frame of reference for federal departments and agencies in Canada. To ensure that the perspectives of equity-denied groups were acknowledged and taken into account, development of the guide included three rounds of consultations, giving subject-matter experts and people with lived experience from various organizations, departments and agencies an opportunity to provide feedback. Over 2,000 comments were received, analyzed and taken into consideration.
