Background
Through a series of interactive and thought-provoking modules, participants will explore the foundations of EDI and anti-racism within regulation, examine how unconscious bias shapes decision-making, and build the skills needed to lead inclusive, culturally aware conversations. The workshop also provides tools for developing practical anti-racism strategies, fostering organizational belonging, and embedding EDI into governance structures and professional practice.
Importantly, the session addresses the unique responsibilities regulators hold in advancing reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and ensuring that regulatory systems evolve to reflect the diversity of Canada’s communities.
Participants will leave equipped with a stronger understanding of how to create equitable regulatory environments that protect the public interest while promoting fairness, inclusion, and trust. The workshop is open to regulators at all levels—whether just beginning this work or seeking to deepen their existing commitments.
Participants will leave the workshop with:
- A foundational understanding of reconcilitation, equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism, unconscious bias, microaggressions, and why this matters in the context of licensing and professional regulation.
- Practical strategies to protect the public interest with greater awareness and sensitivity
- Opportunities to learn from peers across the regulatory sector.
- Tools and reflection prompts to challenge personal assumptions and expand perspective.
- A starting point for operational and governance-level empowerment and change.
