This site will focus primarily on our equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) efforts, but will also extend to the work we are doing in accessibility. Below are the structures we have put in place to carry out this work.
We have partnered with the rest of the municipal units in Lunenburg County to establish and implement a regional accessibility plan. Each unit, including ours, will be audited and individual plans developed. We have completed our audit and developed a good portion of our plan.
In 2021, Municipal Council approved the formation of an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Advisory Committee to provide advice and support. Committee members were selected (six community members and two Councillors) and the first meeting was held in January 2022.
We have developed and are implementing our EDI Action Plan, approved by Council in March of 2023.
Council has agreed to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the other municipal units in Lunenburg County to strike an anti-racism committee with a regional lead-person.
