Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy

“We, the board and members of the Canmore Community Garden, believe deeply in the value and dignity of every human life and are dedicated to serving people from all backgrounds, faiths and contexts, including sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.  We are fully committed to providing a safe, respectful experience through an inclusive, open, welcoming and equitable environment for our members.  This commitment is ever more important for any person-member, volunteer, local resident-who faces discrimination or is marginalized in any manner.

Our commitment includes ensuring members of our LGBTQ+ community receive respectful, equitable, treatment in the garden free from discrimination and prejudice.  We are committed to collaborating with the LGBTQ+ community to listen and learn to better understand their experiences and address health disparities.”
