Employment Equity Committee Survey

Good Afternoon,

We want to take this opportunity, on Orange Shirt Day, to provide you with an update in relation to the collaborative work underway between CUPE local 441 and the Saanich School District.

The Employment Equity Committee formed following the recent round of bargaining (LOU No. 18 – Employment Equity). We came together to work in the spirit of our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation to identify ways that we can address under representation of employees with Indigenous Ancestry (First Nations, Inuit and Métis) within the Saanich School District.

In order to support the work we currently have underway, we are hoping to gather additional information from our support staff members including:

  • The number of individuals who have received district based cultural competency training with Sheralyn Macrae;
  • Information you hope would be included in future cultural competency sessions; and
  • We are also hoping to better understand the number of staff members who currently identify as having Indigenous Ancestry.

This information will greatly assist the joint committee and we thank you in advance for taking the time to provide your responses. You will find the survey here (link). Please complete the survey by Thursday October 12th.

We would like to remind you of the abundant resources available through the Indigenous Education department.  On their main page (link) you will find information related to the monthly Indigenous education bulletin, learning resources, the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada and more.

We look forward to sending out additional updates as we continue this work together.

Thank you!
