About the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Fort Erie

It is a fundamental principle in a free and democratic society that aspires to achieve its greatest potential that everyone is welcome and that there is a place for everyone. To awaken Fort Erie to the benefits of capturing the talent, energy and aspirations of all residents of our community, recognizing the breadth of experiences, backgrounds, ideas and abilities of the residents. To ensure that everyone feels welcome and is welcome in this place, a group of committed individuals reflecting the profile of Fort Erie has come together. These individuals are dedicated to the proposition that diversity and inclusion are fundamental community values and they will strive to ensure that these values become prevalent in all aspects of the life of our community and inform decisions made, policies adopted and endeavours undertaken by all sectors of our community

We are the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Coalition, a representative group of volunteers who live in Fort Erie. At the invitation of Mayor Redekop, we have come together to advise Town Council on the issues of diversity and inclusion as they affect our community. Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and equitable community where diversity and inclusivity are strengths that are enjoyed by every resident of and visitor to Fort Erie.

To provide suggestions on how to improve diversity and inclusion in our community please go to the suggestions feature on this page. The results will assist the Coalition in creating goals and objectives on how to make Fort Erie a more diverse and inclusive community.

Thank you for participating and we look forward to your responses and suggestions!
