It’s a familiar pattern. Training that didn’t change day-to-day operations, an equity committee that started strong but then momentum faded, a team that knows they’re changing lives but feel disconnected from the organization’s equity work.

Community-based organizations such as community health centres, mental health and substance use clinics, children’s services, homelessness and housing, and newcomer services.

Our independent research, built on a national survey, interviews with leaders, and our Equity Circles, keeps everything we do grounded in what’s genuinely happening in the sector.
