It is DTBEN’s aspiration to positively contribute, where we can, to higher strategic goals. For instance, the Privy Council Office, outlines in the Call to Action on Anti-Racism, Equity and Inclusion, clear direction for the federal public service, to commit to personally learning about racism, reconciliation, accessibility, equity and inclusion and fostering a safe, positive environment where these conversations are encouraged throughout our workplaces. DND provided an update to the continuous progress made in support of the Clerk’s Call to Action in Summer 2021.
