Joyce L..png
I was born in Jamaica and moved to Toronto, Ontario with my family, when I was 13 years old. I graduated from the University of Concordia, Montreal with a Bachelor of Commerce and later obtained my Master of Business Administration (MBA), for Wilfried Laurier university, Waterloo, Ontario.

In April of 2016, I accepted an opportunity with the Canada Revenue Agency, in Prince George, BC, as a Collection Officer and later had a chance work in the Audit- refund integrity department. In 2017, after reading in the Public Services Survey that many people of colour had experienced racism and harassment in the Public Services workplace, I accepted an offer to join the Employment Equity, Diversity, and Inclusive (EEDI) Pacific Region sub- committee as the Visible Minority Representative. I joined EEDI because I believe that as Public Servants we care for the benefits of a country that is build on back of differences and diversity were many come to escape the injustices of the world, knowing that hey will find fairness and justice; but before we as servants can give our best to the people of Canada, we ourselves must first be able to come to work knowing that we are safe from harassment and discrimination within our own organization. I believe we are all equally responsible to step forward and drive the changes for equality.

Je suis né en Jamaïque et j'ai déménagé à Toronto, en Ontario, avec ma famille quand j'avais 13 ans. Je suis diplômé de l'Université de Concordia situé à Montréal avec un baccalauréat en commerce et par la suite j'ai obtenu ma maîtrise en administration des affaires (MBA), de l'Université Wilfried Laurier, situé à Waterloo, Ontario.

En avril 2016, j'ai accepté une opportunité d’emploi avec l'Agence du revenu du Canada, à Prince George, en Colombie-Britannique, en tant qu'agent de recouvrement et j'ai eu par la suite la chance de travailler en vérification à l'intégrité du remboursement. En 2017, après avoir lu le Sondage auprès des fonctionnaires fédéraux que de nombreuses personnes de couleur avaient été victimes de racisme et de harcèlement dans le milieu de travail des services publics, j'ai accepté une offre de rejoindre le sous-comité de la région du Pacifique sur l'équité en matière d'emploi, la diversité et l'inclusion (EEDI) en tant que représentant des minorités visibles. J'ai rejoint EEDI parce que je crois qu'en tant que fonctionnaires, nous nous préoccupons des avantages d'un pays qui repose sur les différences et la diversité, beaucoup sont venus pour échapper aux injustices du monde, sachant qu'il trouverons l'équité et la justice; mais avant que nous, en tant que fonctionnaire, puissions donner le meilleur de nous-mêmes à la population du Canada, nous devons d'abord pouvoir venir travailler en sachant que nous sommes à l'abri du harcèlement et de la discrimination au sein de notre propre organisation. Je crois que nous sommes tous également responsables d’aller de l’avant et d’apporter des changements vers l’égalité.
