DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION STATEMENT:

At the YWCA Saskatoon, we believe in the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are dedicated to creating and cultivating an inclusive workspace and workforce that represents the communities we serve. We acknowledge that certain groups have been historically disadvantaged and continue to face barriers in the workforce. In collaboration with the Canadian Employment Equity Act, we have identified the following groups, which have experienced historical and/or current obstacles, as part of our equity priority group:

These include:

• Indigenous peoples
• Persons of colour
• Persons with disabilities
• Women
• 2SLGBTQ+ community
• Newcomers to Saskatchewan

We base our selection process on merit and encourage all diverse groups to participate fully. We acknowledge the barriers that affect equity groups, and we’re committed to addressing, mitigating and accommodating these barriers to strive for equity in the workplace. If at any time during the application and selection process you require accommodation, please email Pamela McKay at pmckay@ywcasaskatoon.com.
