Join the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism Unit (EDI-RO) on a global taste adventure! On March 20 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm, all Staff and Faculty are invited to our office in EC5 for a Warm Welcome Open House. Immerse yourself in flavours from around the world with an array of drinks. From Laban Ayran from Turkey, Sorrel from West Africa, Mango Lassi from India, ginger beer and different flavoured coffees and teas from around the world, there is something for everyone’s taste. 

On May 9th and 10th, 2024, the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University will be hosting the 2024 Inter-Institutional Forum of the Scarborough Charter on Anti-Black Racism and Black Inclusion in Canadian Higher Education. 

Tangible tips for tailoring facilitation to your specific audience, mindfully creating safer space and increasing participation from a diversity of those attending your meeting or offering, as well as on how to address common challenging behaviours will be provided via a hands-on, supportive workshop experience that encourages you to gain more confidence with the discomfort often associated with being responsible for spaces where unlearning is happening or needs to happen.

Join the office of Equity Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-racism for an afternoon of creativity, conversation, and community. This event is aimed at bringing together staff and faculty from marginalized communities to connect, relax, and build meaningful friendships.
