Join an important virtual engagement session on February 5, 2025 at 6 p.m. to share your experiences and valuable insights as part of the development of the City’s first-ever Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy.

Virtual EDI Strategy Engagement Session:

• Date: Wednesday, February 5, 2025
• Time: 6 – 7:30 p.m.
• Location: Online Virtual (Click here to register)
• Confidential and anonymous: The session will be exclusively facilitated by the Diversity Institute (DI) on behalf of the City of Mississauga. DI will gather recommendations to develop the EDI strategy. Only high-level findings without personally identifiable information will be shared back with the City and used for the EDI Strategy.

Why participate?

We want to hear from you – people who live, work or conduct business in Mississauga. Perspectives on how City initiatives can be more equitable, inclusive and accessible will help inform the City in its role as an employer, service provider, policy maker and as a purchaser of goods and services. This is an important opportunity to influence key decisions that will guide the City’s policies, practices and procedures moving forward. Residents, business owners and other community stakeholder perspectives are vital in ensuring the strategy reflects the needs and aspirations of everyone in Mississauga.

How to register

To join the virtual session, please register in advance.

Don’t miss out on this important opportunity to make your voice heard. Together we can build a more inclusive and equitable Mississauga for all.

About the project

In April 2024, the City launched the Empowering Change: A Comprehensive EDI Strategy: 2024-2030 project in collaboration with the Diversity Institute. This project forms part of a commitment to advancing EDI and addressing racism and oppression within processes, practices and protocols. As part of the project, we are engaging diverse communities across the city with the goal of understanding diverse perspectives to influence the development of the City’s EDI strategy and guide future policies and initiatives aimed at fostering a more equitable community.
