I am pleased to Chair  the Working Group joined by Dr. Kofi Belfon, Dr. Michael Grand, Dr. Tae  Hart and Dr. Chris Mushquash, and supported by the Registrar &amp; Executive  Director and the Assistant to the Registrar, in this very important initiative.  The members of the Working Group represent diversity of race, colour,   being Indigenous, places of origin, religions, ethnic origins, sexual orientations, and gender identities; reflective of the diversity of our  members and the clients we serve. In undertaking this task, the Working  Group is first focusing on possible discrimination or bias in the College  regulatory processes. It will then turn its attention outward toward the  profession, in general.<br><br>The EDI Working Group has met four times discussing its role and how to  best approach the task with which it has been charged. This included the  development of a member survey regarding equity, diversity and inclusion  within the College. I wish to thank all of you who took the time to consider  and respond to the questions raised in the survey. <br><br>In undertaking this task and in developing the survey, the Working Group   agreed to a set of definitions to ensure a common understanding of \u201cequity,  diversity and inclusion\u201d and to establish the scope of this initiative. The  definitions reflect the Working Group\u2019s focus on the potential for systemic  prejudice, bias and discrimination related to race, colour, being Indigenous,  places of origin, religions, ethnic origins, sexual orientations, and gender  identities.<br><br>At the most recent meeting, the Working Group undertook to begin to  review the survey results and the wealth of information your feedback  provided. This information will greatly assist us to identify any regulatory  practices that may reflect systemic prejudice, bias or discrimination. <br><br>The next meeting is scheduled for mid-February.<br><br>Donna Ferguson, Psy.D., C.Psych.<br>Chair, EDI Working Group<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The College recently established an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) working Group to consider possible issues of racism, systemic discrimination or bias that may be present within the College and its regulatory processes, as well as the larger profession.
