Our DEIA Commitments

We believe an ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism efforts is the right thing to do.

CREA is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, inclusive and anti-racist environment for all our employees, volunteers and members.

We believe this ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism (DEIA) efforts is the right thing to do. It is also integral to the long-term success and sustainability of our association and will result in far-reaching benefits for our membership and beyond.

We recognize we are just beginning a long-term journey. Our current efforts are focused on gathering baseline metrics, identifying opportunities for improvement, and building DEI capacity throughout all departments and at all levels.

Diversity

We will work to recruit and retain employees at all management levels—and encourage the appointment and election of volunteers—who collectively reflect the rich diversity of Canada and the membership we serve, so they can bring unique perspectives to the table and together advance the association’s mission in more inclusive and innovative ways. We appreciate that these unique perspectives arise from a variety of dimensions of diversity, such as race, culture, religion, mental and physical abilities, age, sexual orientation and gender identity, including LGBTQ2+ identification.
