Community Impact

We are committed to creating spaces where diversity is celebrated, inclusion is evident, and everyone can reach their potential.

Equity is at the heart of this Community Impact Strategy. We recognize that improving the lives of everyone in the communities we serve means intentionally removing barriers for those most harmed by them. This includes addressing the beliefs, attitudes, systems, policies, and practices that privilege some and marginalize others. We understand that addressing equity is about deliberate systemic change within UWCA.

We are committed to reconciliation and building stronger relationships with First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples on these lands to ensure we contribute to meaningful lasting prosperity. It also means working in closer partnership with the people and communities that our work is intended to benefit. We are looking at our internal attitudes and systems, including actively working to increase representation in decision-making, to ensure this work is done thoughtfully.
