Equity, diversity, inclusion & belonging
Equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging (EDI&B) is a strategic priority at Georgian. We’re dedicated to fostering a learning and working environment where everyone feels seen, heard and knows they belong through demonstrable, accountable and system-wide commitments to diversity, de-colonization, anti-racism, equity and inclusion.

EDI&B in action
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
It is a time to reflect on the ongoing impacts of residential schools on Indigenous communities. At the beginning of September, the Survivors’ Flag was raised at each of our seven campuses as a reminder of our collective responsibility to acknowledge these truths and work toward reconciliation.
If you wish to purchase an orange shirt or beaded pin, we recommend you do so through the Orange Shirt Society – online or through one of their official retail partners.
Celebrating Black History Month
Feb. 1 marks the start of Black History Month. Many of the achievements and contributions of Black Canadians have been erased or excluded from our national narrative, and this is an opportunity to acknowledge, value and celebrate them.
It’s also a chance to recognize the transformative work of Black Canadians today and to give visibility to the people and organizations creating meaningful change.
Proud champions of the 50 – 30 Challenge
Our EDIB Centre is working closely with Georgian partners, community organizations, and the 50-30 project to actively engage and encourage organizations in the Simcoe County region and surrounding areas to commit to the 50-30 Challenge.
The 50-30 Challenge is a crucial initiative aimed at advancing gender parity and representation of equity-deserving groups in Canadian organizations.
