Equity, Diversity + Inclusivity

The LDCSB is committed to improving the experiences and outcomes of all students, including Indigenous students, Black and other racialized groups of students, students with disabilities and/or special education needs, 2SLGBTQ+ students, students from low-income households, and students new to Canada. As a Catholic community, equity, diversity, justice and inclusion are values rooted in our faith.
 
In addition, the LDCSB believes that a culture of collaboration, trust and respect can strengthen our partnerships with students, staff, family, and community. We are committed to celebrating the diversity, dignity, success, and worth of all individuals, and seek to strengthen our recognition of all voices in our community.  
 
As stewards of Catholic education, we believe in the sacredness of human life. We recognize that systemic racism impacts the daily lives of our students, staff and families in ways that are unjust and prevalent. While we have done some important equity work in the LDCSB, we recognize that we have a lot more work to do to eradicate racism and all forms of oppression.
 
Equity Action Plan

The Equity Action Plan provides a road map to identify and dismantle discriminatory practices, systemic barriers and biases faced by diverse groups in our schools, and to support the potential for every student and staff to succeed. We recognize the value of diversity as a strength and a key to the success of all collaborators. This framework aims to ensure equity as a necessary foundation for improving student achievement and promoting student and staff well-being. It is important to acknowledge that equity is always evolving and that language changes with it. Therefore, this is a living document that will be regularly reviewed and amended as needed within the three-year time frame (2024-27).
