Do you want to make the texts you write more inclusive? Find the information you need in the Guide on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Terminology!
The Guide is a collaborative effort between more than 20 federal departments and agencies, developed in response to the Privy Council Clerk’s 2021 Call to Action on Anti-Racism, Equity, and Inclusion in the Federal Public Service. Extensive consultations were carried out to ensure the perspectives of equity-denied groups were taken into account. Nevertheless, not everyone will necessarily agree on its content, and it should be used for guidance only. It is always best to address a person or a group of people in the way they prefer. Furthermore, the Guide does not replace everything that can be learned directly from people with lived experience, nor what can be learned through reading or taking training.
Available on the Language Portal of Canada website, managed by Public Services and Procurement Canada’s Translation Bureau, the Guide is meant to be a starting point for users to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to help build a fully inclusive public service and engage with others with empathy, curiosity and reflection. Its main objectives are to help federal public servants better understand concepts related to equity, diversity, accessibility and inclusion, and to provide a unified frame of reference for federal departments and agencies.
The terminology related to equity, diversity, accessibility and inclusion will continue to evolve and never be completely neutral. For this reason, most entries in the Guide contain definitions and usage notes that offer explanations on the particular use of the terms. As language evolves, the Guide will be regularly updated and enhanced with new concepts.
Take a look at the Guide and put equity, diversity, accessibility and inclusion at the very core of your communications!
Targeted audience: Canadians interested in Official Languages
