About our Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigeneity Task Force
Our Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigeneity (EDII) Task Force is made up of staff, medical staff, volunteers and youth/family advisors across CHEO, the CHEO Research Institute and the CHEO Foundation. Our EDII Steering Committee is part of CHEO’s larger EDII Task Force and is guiding work across our three organizations to address inequities and put forward recommendations for change.
Our EDII Task Force is working in close collaboration with existing committees, groups and circles across our three organizations, including:
- Indigenous Circle
- Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) Committee
- Accessibility Committee
Our Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigeneity strategic goals
We have five strategic goals guiding our work across CHEO, the CHEO Research Institute and the CHEO Foundation. Each strategic goal has a working group helping to implement recommendations and activities in their area.
Our five strategic goals are:
- We are our community: Team CHEO is representative of the communities we serve across all three of our organizations
- Everyone belongs: We foster a sense of belonging
- Know better, do better: We have a culture of continuous training, education & research around Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigeneity
- Working together: We build and maintain relationships with the broader community that reflect Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigeneity
- Equitable access and care for all: Every child, youth and family has equitable access to and delivery of effective and appropriate health-care services and experiences
