Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Anti-Racism (EDI-R)
We are committed to build partnerships across the University, so together we can continue to lead transformative culture changes, disrupt oppressive systems, dismantle institutional barriers, and embed anti-racism and equity in policies, processes, environments, and experiences on campus.

Community Engagement Guide
This initiative responds to campus requests for a clearer and more unified approach to inclusive engagement. The Guide helps shift engagement efforts from simply gathering input to intentionally creating space for communities to share their voice and shape outcomes that directly affect them on campus. In doing so, it works towards supporting a more inclusive, responsive, and human campus experience for everyone
Take the Mic
We’re opening our space, and our professional podcasting and video equipment, to students, staff, and faculty for free 30-minute recording sessions available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 1–3 p.m.
Inclusive Facilities on Google Maps!
Looking for a gender-inclusive washroom? A change table? A multi-faith space for reflection or prayer? We’ve mapped inclusive facilities across Main campus directly in Google Maps, making it easy to find what you need—all in one place.
