EDIB in Action: Beyond the Plan
By: Mimi Mahmud, Equity Strategist
Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (EDIB) are not confined to a single strategic priority at EAFWR – they shape how we work, learn, and relate to one another every day.
Advisory & Support – Supporting teams through complex, real-time equity questions
Tools & Infrastructure – Policy review, data collection, inclusive language resources
Culture & Learning – Training, reflection, Days of Significance
Sector Leadership – Sharing learning regionally and provincially
Together, this work strengthens relationships, reduces harm, and supports an organizational culture where people feel valued, respected, and able to contribute fully. It reflects a long-held belief at EAFWR: belonging is built intentionally, through systems, relationships, and everyday practice.
EDIB LEARNING AND REACH:
- Cultural Intelligence – all full-time staff
- Identity-Based Harm Reduction – 20 staff from 2 programs
- Brave Conversations – 15 Program Managers and Directors
- 100% of SSAH, Passport, and FamilyHome/SIL teams trained in demographic data collection
