EQUITY, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION (EDI) AND ANTI-OPPRESSION AT DTC
Welcome to EDI at DTC
Advancing a sense of belonging for equity-deserving students, staff, and facilitators at Doula Canada, the EDI Team commits to addressing and dismantling oppression experienced by racialized persons; First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities; persons with disabilities; members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community; and women-identified individuals.
It is our mission to achieve an authentic sense of belonging for every student, staff and facilitators within the community by fostering inclusive classroom and learning experiences for our students, while intentionally recruiting equity-deserving employees and faculty.

- Strategically advance EDI priorities at all levels of DTC
- Sponsor events, speakers, and action campaigns to create a sense of belonging
- Provide equity, anti-racism, and anti-oppression training and education
